Yes, I am on a PC here and it took a colleague to point it out to me! I never realised it in my flurry of pointing roll-over and clicking frenzy during my development. I also distinctly remember this behaviour NOT being there on other flash site I developed earlier. [sorry - I seam to be getting back into Flash now after some time (years) of absence...)
Thanks for the links - I'll check them out ...! Nik Crosnia On 4/10/07, Andy Herrman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Actually, to me it sounds like he's using Windows and is running into the Eolas thing. If that's the case, the problem is that, due to patent issues, Microsoft had to change IE's behavior with ActiveX controls (which Flash and Java both use for their plugins) such that they don't get any mouse or keyboard events until you "activate" them by clicking on them. There are ways around it, documented in the MS whitepaper about it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp The easiest thing would be to use swfobject, as was mentioned in an earlier post. -Andy On 4/10/07, Joshua Sera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds like you're using a mac. > > If you are, that's an OS issue.
