Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application container failed to capture KeyboardEvent
I know this is a long-standing issue, but are there any developments in the
works to prevent this sort of behaviour? I know there are work-arounds to
Flash being able to obtain focus programmatically, such as using
ExternalInterface calls from Javascript to pass keyboard events. However,
stuff like that has always struck me as hacky.
In an ideal world, the Flash plugin would have the authority to demand focus
and receive programmatic focus across all browsers.

Thanks Alex. That works!
When I switch to another application and then switch back, my all
flash application loses the focus and no event fires at all unless I
click somewhere in it. Is there any way around it?

My simple flex app somehow doesn't respond to key event, but mouse
events work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks,

plugins are at the mercy of the browser. Maybe enough of you can
pressure Mozilla and MS and others to provide better functionality for
plugins.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application container failed to capture KeyboardEvent
I was hoping to hear that Adobe was already pursuing this issue. It would
require a bit of coordination to establish an acceptable level of security
from a browser implementation standpoint, but seeing as flash content is so
pervasive, shouldn't be out of the question. I think it's one of those
things that Adobe would have to put its weight behind, honestly.
