But I just need to stop the creation of the new browser window while the
focus is in the flash plugin.I can use the javascript onkeydown event to
trap the above said combination when the focus is in browser window.But
since my focus is in the movie right from the beginning I am not getting the
keydown event of the window.But the flash movie can sense the key
combination.But whenever this key combination comes , a new browser window
opens with same plugin.How can I stop the creation of the new browser
window. Because I need this key combination in flash movie for evaluation .
Anyone has any idea
