Some games won't allow certain keys to work.
This depends on the programmer that wrote the game's program.
Most games have configuration settings that can be changed at any time. Most games will give you the settings available in the help section.This includes the key functions for the game you are playing. If the arrow key is not included then it is not available and
will not work when playing the game..
Hope this helps.

You mentioned that you tried it with other programs and they work so it
sounds like there's nothing wrong with the keyboard but maybe the flash game is programmed to use other keys for movement?
another poster mentioned this but you can try the arrow keys on the number pad too. see if the number lock light is on or not, it's next to the light that shows if the caps lock is on. hit num lock to turn it off and then try using 4 (left), 8(up), 2 (down), and 6(right).
could be the sticky function is on, but if you can use them for other programs that shouldn't be the problem.

Some programmers just don't program for arrow keys. It happens to me on some web-sites.
I would never do that.
Lazy or dim-witted programmers I think. ;p LOL
