Re: Trapped in Flash

Courtney,
There is an issue with Flash content and keyboard access that is often seen in Firefox, but since you're describing the problem in IE, it seems like you're experiencing something different than that.

It is possible that the flash content is trapping the focus and not releasing it to the content that follows. This is not a correct behavior, so the Flash developer needs to address that.

Thanks,
AWK
