How to Control a Flash Movie With a Keyboard
If you are watching a Flash video on your computer, you may want to control it with just your keyboard and avoid clicking on different options with your mouse. Although some keyboards do have more options while running a Flash movie, you can also at least start and stop the movie on your computer using just a basic keyboard and a few specific buttons.

Load the site that features the Flash movie you want to play. If there are several different movies on the site at the same time, you need to click the "Play" button with your mouse to start off the process (just so the site knows what movie you want to watch).
