What is the purpose of that?
It makes the fullscreen mode useless in the context of an application.
I would bet that is a security precaution, to prevent spoofing the
computer's desktop or something.
If someone is foolish enough that he can't tell the difference of his
functional desktop and some mockup version of a desktop
and starts writing his bank account passwords to some input boxes on his
desktop then I think he deserves to be robbed.
Surely flash can not emulate the desktop experience. Can it even do
screen capture?
And from what I understand now flash can even read the filesystem.
So some people at Adobe are either highly paranoid or there is something
fishy going on in here.
