I don't think it's something that was 'solved'  by Flash. To be honest,
I'm often annoyed at the way Flash steals the focus of all my key
presses making it almost impossible to navigate using only the keyboard.

You could use Javascript to put the focus onto an object, capture all
the key presses on that and return false for them all maybe.

Thanks,
Ash
