I have a requirement to dismiss a dialog if the flash player loses focus (e.g. someone clicks outside of the player). I'm using the Flex 2.0.01 SDK (hotfix 3) with IE 7 and Flash Player 9.
I've registered a FOCUS_OUT event handler on the stage. That seems to work, but I've run into a case where the event is ambiguous. I've been keying off of "if (event.relatedObject == null) //then assume the player's lost focus". The problem is that if my dialog contains a DropDown and the DropDown is opened, then I'm getting an event that also has a null value for relatedObject. I don't want to close the dialog if someone opens a DropDown :-) I've also tried focus-out handlers on the root and the dialog window objects (my dialog is subsclass of TitleWindow), but they have a similar result. Any suggestions? Is there another sort of event that will tell me when the Player has lost focus to the browser or another app? Thanks, Glenn
