Well, my suggestion would solve this in the sense that Spacebar would be sent to the Flash in the same way that it is sent to a textbox or checkbox or any other element that has focus.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say about Ctrl+F. Are you saying that pages like bk.com should have Ctrl+F sent to the Flash applet, while other pages (e.g. YouTube) shouldn't? I think the differentiation is going to be very difficult to make, so we should probably not try. If the Find toolbar pops up but is useless, this is much less severe than having something like Ctrl+T not work at all. If the Flash applet doesn't respond to it either (and 99% of them don't) the user tends to think that Firefox has locked up.
