I've seen this bug and worked around it by removing the spacebar key eventlistener before going fullscreen and then created a timer to add the eventlistener back in half a second. A horrible horrible hack, but it works...

hey i'm having a weird problem with firefox.. if you try my website, and click around a bit, you'll see that for some reason the buttons stop working... it happens very rarely in IE8, but ALOT in firefox 3.. any ideas?..

Hi Scott, I'm also experiencing the same quite irritating problem so I was wondering whether you've found out how to prevent it from happening..

@Brian - Thanks! I did think if that, but was hoping to find a non-hack way to solve it. But as you say, it works... and sometimes that's what we have to do, just make it work.

@Scott - I clicked around in ff3, but the buttons seemed to work fine for me. Isn't it horrible dealing with browser specific bugs in flash... Good luck!
