Thanks for reading this! I need help fast!

Me and a friend of mine have programmed a hack & slash RPG in Flash MX 7.0. It's built like this: Each frame contains a map, and when the hero character tries to leave the border, the map changes to a new map. So each frame has the simple "Stop();" command. (Like Zelda scrolling) This works fine, and when i'm publishing the .fla file in Flash and test it there, there is no problems.

But! When I run the published .swf file stand-alone with only flash player, this problem comes up: When I press shift-ctrl and up-right, the timeline jumps to the next frame! The same happens when I press shift-ctrl and up-left, but now it's jumping backwards in the timeline.

This is a problem, because in the game shift, ctrl and the arrow keys are used very often together.

Teleporting through the maps are only avaiable to mages! So I have to disable this very strange hotkey. Do you know how?

Try exporting the file to a .exe projector instead of a .swf. The .swf flash player reserves that key sequence for jumping between frames.

Ok, I've tried to publish the .fla to an .exe file. But the new .exe file still wants to be opened with the flash player. And the problem is still there. Why is that?

Does someone know how to uninstall Flash Player?

I've got the old 6.0 version, but I can't uninstall it. I've tried installing the new 7.0 version but it doesn't help. Perhaps I can delete the program manually, but I don't know where to find it.
