Arrow Keys moving Objects

[Randall Reetz]

Most likely culprit is an open and editable field (with active cursor or selected text) or the message box.  Either will intercept all arrowkey messages.  If a media player is up... it might be snaging the arrow key messages.  Are any of the button objects sensitive to arrowkey input?  Is there an allowarrowkey property as there is in supercard?  Do you have an assistive system (OS) setting activated?  On the mac you can turn on the "Mouse Keys" under the "Mouse & Trackpad" tab in the "Universal Access" System Preferences.

Thanks Guys. Just glad my memory hadn't gone on the fritz. I still  
can't see why it's not working for me now, but not worth  worrying  
about so long as I know it'll eventually work.
