Description

I am begging for Joystick / Gamepad support. We are at Flash Player 10. Half the usage of Flash on the web is game development, ie 100 of millions of people play online games everyday. Can we please get joystick or gamepad support? I'll be your best friend.

Steps to reproduce:
1. hook up gamepad such as xbox 360 gamepad into USB port
2. windows automatically detects and installs the gamepad without downloading anything
3. launch a flash based game in the browser or an AIR game on the desktop

Actual Results:
game pad does nothing

Expected Results:
game pad to be interactive with the flash based game or content

Workaround (if any):
use lame keyboard sad face
...ok for real, please consider gamepad support for flash player and air soon. thank you soo much
