Hi all,
our latest flash (swf) game release features a character that moves when using keyboard arrows. It works just fine when published on our website or when run directly from our machine but it doesn't work at all on Newgrounds.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Cheers

I think more details are required, what are the functions you are using that take the keyboard inputs etc. being in the iframe may be the cause of the issue. What happens if you load the swf from an iframe on your local machine?
