Details

Pressing "+" key results in a keycode of 61 in Firefox. It should be 187 in Flash. (We do get the correct key code in Chrome however.)

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, function (event:KeyboardEvent) {
	trace (event.keyCode);
});
This is a low-priority for ads, but it would break some games.

Summary: Wrong key codes. → Shumway is generating wrong key codes
According to bug 537955 comment 5 , keycodes are browser dependent. Newer browsers have implemented the DOM Level 3 Keyboard spec

KeyboardEvent.key (Firefox / IE) / .keyIdentifier (Chrome / Safari) should be compatible across browsers. [1]

This key code bug doesn't seem like it needs to block ads. Can we defer it to a later milestone?
