Thanks for responding, Sam. Actually, the consensus I am finding is that this is a general Mozilla issue. Some think it is related to setting wmode to transparent but I find these results with any setting. As I said, it works fine in IE. Don’t know yet about Opera or Safari. I am looking to find anyone that has found a solution to this problem.
I did find one site in which someone had apparently solved this but it involved about three pages of Javascript code and I’m looking for something a little easier than that.

(I would imagine not - why I see this as a general flash issue) I have found (but not tried it) http://www.bigresource.com/FLASH-Creating-Keyboard-class-setting-the-focus-to-input-text-fields-uTOPHnuQQO.html - S 2009/11/9 smthames <[email protected]> Using SWFObject 2.0: <div id="app"></div> <style> object:focus { outline: none; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = { AppPath: '<%=String.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Host, ai.Path)%>' }; var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always", wmode: "transparent" }; var attributes = { }; swfobject.embedSWF("flash/CAPTAClient.swf?128988943755758144", "app", "950", "480", "9", '/CAPTA/include/expressInstall.swf', flashvars, params, attributes); swfobject.addDomLoadEvent(function() { document.getElementById ("app").focus(); }); </script> </div> The SWF contains a username/password input panel. This works fine in IE. In FF, the caret is flashing in the User Name field, as it should, but no keyboard input works and will not work until the user clicks on the SWF object, itself. Further, when the SWF is active, tabbing will only tab through the SWF fields--not out into the browser location bar. I don't care so much about the tabbing but would really like to know how to allow the user to type into the focused input field without having to click on the SWF. Anyone have any idea? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
