Anoying Flash Security "Features"

i wonder @ how 'security' decisions made flash product. hope when flash brand moved under wings of adobe decision process might change , of annoyances in old product might removed, low behold seem making more ridicules ones.

i thought i’d summarise annoying of these security mistakes in hope @ adobe might pick , see how ridicules of these are.

i’ve added biggest grievances, others can work around, please feel free add own.

1. keyboard shortcuts in full screen mode

full screen mode great; can start making media centre style interfaces presenting video on web. wait… keyboard shortcuts disabled! sure, disabling ability use makes more secure, @ risk of making less usable.

i cannot understand adobe’s thinking on one. i’m sure right developer @ apple thinking, “how can make next mac os more secure? know let’s disable keyboard input.”

2. download of xml files.

one of important features of flash ability download additional content dynamically. why there security restriction download these files same server swf file hosted?

have adobe never heard of rss feeds. how can create integrated , scalable applications if has originate same server? surly thinking behind sandbox security model, if ignored flash video, why not xml?
