Description

This is a flash player bug, but I could not create any issue under the Flash Player Project

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a Firefox or Chromium browser.
2. Navigate to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf64a29-7fdb.html#WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf64a29-7fed\ and start the first example by clikcing on "View example"
3. In the input field type Ctrl+a

Actual Results:
1. When the 'a' key is pressed, the keyCode is 4294967295 (which is -1 on 32 bit) and charCode is 0.

Expected Results:
1. The good values must be detected (keyCode==65, charCode==97).

Workaround (if any):
Nope.

The bug can be reprocued with typing Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+x.
These are the shortcuts for copy, paste, cut.

I could reproduce the bug with FireFox (6.0) and Chromium 12.0.742.112 (90304) browser.
Flash player was 10,3,183,5 .
I have tested the same use case under windows, but it was working ok.
I have not tested the bug on any other Linux OS.

Here are my logs from a different project. The Ctrl+a was pressed.
