Flash input text bug : @, . and other characters that need the “shift” key to be pressed

27 May 2009 3 Comments

So, if you got a bug on FireFox and Safari when trying to insert a @ character into a textfield, just take a look at this post: http://blog.madebypi.co.uk/2009/04/21/transparent-flash-text-entry/

It seems to happen when a div is placed (or was…) over your flash movie.

Share and Enjoy:

Is there a solution to this problem yet? I use a Danish keyboard, and suddenly I can’t find the question mark when I type into a Flash text box.

It works when I open the sfw separately, but in the browser my ? becomes a +
