Re: FLASH: KEY.isDown Question

[Mike Kelly]

Hi,

I noticed with this problem that the Flash movie itself needs focus, not the

browser.  Just in case you were going to use javascript or something else to

get browser focus...  Instead, you'll need to force a click on the Flash

movie at some point, as Helen suggests.

Best wishes,

M
