IE7 - arrow keys in flash games

[PPettit]

I've recently started running Internet Explorer 7 with the IE7Pro add-in. I'm getting used to it except for one problem: my arrow keys don't operate properly in most flash games. When I press the up or down keys in a game, the entire page scrolls up or down. It's as if IE7 refuses to retain focus on the flash object.

Does anyone have an idea on how to stop this behavior?

For embedded objects like this - Make sure you Double click the object to make sure that it has focus. Single clicking it seems to leave focus on the main page

Double-clicking the flash object doesn't work.

It looks like the problem is with the IE7Pro Add-on. If I uncheck "Enable Flash Blocking" before I go to the page with the flash object, the arrow keys function properly. If I navigate to the flash object first (with flash blocking enabled) and then "click to allow flash", the up and down arrow keys scroll the entire page as well as operate within the flash object.

I'll have to see if there's a fix or at least inform the developer of the problem.
