Prevent scrolling Website with Arrow Keys

Prevent scrolling Website with Arrow Keys

I have an issue with the keyboard arrow keys and my website. You see some of the flash games I have use the arrow keys to move around in the game, which is fine except that some web-browsers also use the arrow keys to scroll the page up and down. It can get really annoying in the middle of a game and the screen scrolls to the bottom of the page.

Dance Planet is a good example of this: http://azzaboi.weebly.com/danceplanet.html
Where you use the arrow keys and space bar to dance, the up and down arrows are also scroll the page while trying to play in IE.

Any ideas how to prevent this?

 

dont click off of the game and the browsers focus will remain the flash

 

flash takes control of everything by default, just click once in the swf

 

Hmm maybe it's just that game, doesn't seem to keep focus. I click on the game and the up/down arrows still scroll the website. Is it just me?
