It's one of those things where 'abuse' comes to mind. Short of not allowing flash to do such a thing, if such an overwrite of the clip-board is occurring there should be a warning to the user, otherwise they might wonder why they can't use copy-paste anymore! I wonder what it is that would be

Since thats at an operating system level, I don't think you could do anything. If it's a kiosk, have a keyboard without that button, for every one else, you're stuck. What would you try to do with the keypress for that key anyway? By the time you received it (if Flash had focus), it would already b
