About Full Screen:
Flash Player 9 does not allow keyboard input when displaying flash files in full-screen mode.
Flash Player 10 changes this, allowing for a limited number of keys to be usable in full-screen mode. These include Tab, the Spacebar, and the (up, down, left, right) arrow keys.
It is suggested to upgrade to a latest version of Adobe flash player since aXmag is using Adobe Flash Player 10 as its default viewer, in this case you can firstly use Tab key and then use arrow keys to select buttons in aXmag publication but other keys are disabled in full-screen mode.
