Exit browser full screen mode when F11 is hit while Flash object is active?

I have a 100% width and height flash object in my site. Activating and exiting browser full screen mode with F11 only works as long the user didn't click the Flash movie. And I doubt many users know they have to click the address bar to enable F11 after using a (browser) full screen Flash movie.

Is there any way I can enable F11 to work if the Flash object is active?

Thanks, Jan

No, for security reasons Adobe disable all keyboard events while in full-screen mode, you still have full mouse events, but the only key that can change the full-screen mode back to windowed mode is the Esc key.

When switching to full-screen mode a transparent message shows up briefly explaining this before fading away.
