Question about Flash and keyboard events

[Califan007 The Constipated]

Anyone have an answer for the following question?

I'm trying to use keystrokes on the keyboard to navigate through a Flash .swf file. Basically, it goes like this:

There are three rows of icons, with the first icon in the first row highlighted...

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

When you press the "down" arrow on the keyboard, the highlight moves to the first icon on the 2nd row...

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

When you press the "right" and "left" arrow keys on the keyboard, the highlight moves left and right on the 2nd row, and so on...

* * * * *.....* * * * *.....* * * * *

* * * * *.....* * * * *.....* * * * *

* * * * *.....* * * * *.....* * * * *

Then, when you press the "down" arrow on the keyboard, the highlight moves to the icon on the 3rd row that corresponds with the icon that was highlighted on the 2nd row, and so on...

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

(press "down" arrow key)

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

And if you press the "up" arrow key on your keyboard, the highlight will go to the corresponding icon on the row above it...

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

(press "up" arrow key)

* * * * *

* * * * *

* * * * *

Right now, I have the left and right arrow keys working fine...but the up and down arrow keys only work the first time.

Any suggestions as to what I should do?
