Keyboard input issue

Hello

I am having issues: I can load up the game, but it isn't accepting keyboard input at all. Can't type in chat panes, or control my toon using the keyboard at all.

This window accepts browser input tho - it might be a flash thing. Will see if I can reproduce elsewhere / fix this, and update if I find out more.

Environment:
- Using Click to Flash Safari extension (installed from Safari Extensions gallery)
- Updated Adobe Flash (the full CS5 version) earlier today
- on new MacBook i7, with everything reinstalled from a time machine backup
- Safari 5.1 / OS 10.6.8 
- Shockwave FlashShockwave Flash 10.3 r181 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.

(Edit - have reinstalled flash 10.3 non-debug version, and this seems to have fixed it. During install it asked me to close Safari and also 'Plugin Process' - I wonder if there was a stalled process around click to flash that was causing this behaviour?)

  • FYI- Click to Flash is not very compatible with Glitch. Some people find a way to use it, but most people cannot properly play the game with it. In general, we suggest it be uninstalled if there are problems, or a separate browser be used.

  • I'm having the same issue. Not using anything from the Safari Extensions - just normal flash on a MacBook Pro in Safari:
    Adobe Flash version 10,3,181,34 installed
    Safari 5.1

    I log in and cannot use my keyboard anywhere (arrows to move, chatting, etc). It was working last night fine, and this morning? Nada. 

    Any ideas?

  • kevbob - thanks for the feedback. I'll look at this again: the odd thing was that I was playing *fine* with click to flash on the old machine, and the problem only happened when I moved everything across to the new one from a time machine backup.

    I wonder if there's a difference between the install of click to flash from the website, and the safari gallery too... hmmn. 

    Anyway - will continue to try and chase the bug! Thanks for your help.

  • I have a similar issue (and the same enviroment as the first user but with the last version of Adobe Flash; and not using click to Flash)

    Also, when I decide to open ITunes (or any other app) and then come back again into the game, my keyboards isn't recognized. I have to open a new tab (or a new window), and then it works.

    ¿Any idea what's this happening?

    Thanks

  • gabpinto- yeah, the game isn't grabbing focus back when you leave the browser view in Safari here. (I believe it's a little better than Chrome and Firefox for this.)
