Re: FLASH: Kinda OT: Changing the focus of browser windows.

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi,


Try the following:


function updateParent(newURL) {

   opener.document.location = newURL;

   timoutID=setTimeout("focusMain()",100)

}

function focusMain(){

   opener.document.focus();

   clearTimeout(timeoutID)

}


I have found that you need to give the scripts a little time between

executes. Especially if you are trying to replace the current window

content.
