Recently i noticed a Bug in the Flash Player which is there for a really long time and hasn’t been fixed by Adobe since then:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-479

It affects all Input Fields on not showing the correct User Input, especially for Specialchars. So if you are for example typing a double Quote Flash will display the at Sign. When using WMode Window all works fine, but when using WMode Transparent it all screws up (in case you don’t know: using WMode Window is fine as long you don’t need to Display any HTML Content on Top of the Flash Movie, like when embedding a SWF and you have to Display a HTML PopUp above it).

Thanks to Max there’s are partial Solution available here:

The JSTextReader comes in 2 Favours: a Class File and an “load at runtime” SWF. If you use it, be so kind at Donate - Max did great work finding a Solution for a problem Abobe hasn’t fixed for Years. “Partial” because it doesn’t work on Safari.

p.s.: if you downloaded JSTextReader recently and couln’t make it work, download it again, Max just updated the Download some Days ago because the old one was broken
