Im affraid I disaggree. If developing in Macromedia Director is anything to go by I would assume that using Flash's ActionScript you would have specific keycodes defined for each input (p.s. theres easily over 30 possible keycodes a game would need). So the controls defined in the actionscript for the flash movie would need serious remapping for a device with 5 buttons & a slider.

It was a nice idea though
