Re: [Flashcoders] Short Key/window focus question
That's what i figured.. hmm shame. Could you detect it fromout flash though.. when the focus is not set in flash? So the user can be tolled that he/she has to click first.. or the game can go to pauze?

Re: [Flashcoders] Short Key/window focus question
Hey Indeed js doesn't seem to be the solution.. because i wouldn't know a way to set the focus to the flahs object instead of the browser.. and to push key events from js to flash seems impossible en in't really an option for this project. Your idea on the localconnection i don't understand what you ment there..(although i'm familiar with the local connection) But i don't have access to the local machine.. and have to work in a pretty normal broswer surrounding.. without any plugins or stuff.. Thanks.. but doess anyone else has something?

Well..I think it shouldn't be difficult to catch the key events in JavaScript and send them to Flash. Another question is how to catch those events outside the browser... I guess you should have "anything" running on the system (win, linux, mac), catch the events and send them with LocalConnection to the flash movie running in the browser...but how do you give the focus to the browser? It doesn't sound easy at least for me! Bye!
