In IE, any flash with wmode set to opaque doesn't claim exclusive focus for the keyboard. In other words, if you're trying to play a game and you want to use the up/down keys, the page will scroll in addition to moving in the game. It's a known issue with using the opaque wmode, but unfortunately opaque offers superior performance compared to the other wmode options.

I suggest the addition of a feature which would add a checkbox to disable the arrow keys in IE if wmode is set to opaque. Either that, or a checkbox which would change the wmode if the browser is IE. As it is, the setting is useless for games, which would really benefit from increased performance.

Thanks!
