does anyone know how to 'focus' on a flash movie? for example, my flash webpage has a button that when clicked opens a flash movie. i want the main site to darken and the flash movie to be in front in focus.url...
View 2 RepliesI have a very simple player which connects to a shoutcast stream. All it has is a play/stop button, and a volume control, which control a mp3 Playback Component.However, everytime I click anything within the flash movie, a little focus border appears around my flash movie. You know how when you press tab on the keyboard to switch between different elements in a program, such as different buttons, and that little dotted border appears on the button you are on? Well, that happens to me, and I am not sure why or how to get rid of it.

View 5 RepliesIs there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.
I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?
I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.

View 2 RepliesI've created several buttons and each contains a movie clip. I then placed each button on the main scene. Everything works well except the movie restarts every time the button over event is fired. I added a mouse over listener to each button so I can reposition the button. However, the movie restarts even if I don't reposition the button. (i.e. Button 1 is active and the mouse leaves the player and returns to Button 1.) How do I keep the movie that is embedded in the button from restarting?
View 2 RepliesI have two flash movies, on different tabs of a user's browser.They use LocalConnection to talk to each other, but the one on the tab which isn't active doesn't do anything until you switch back to that tab, can you change this? Maybe in the embed tag?
View 1 RepliesI have background elements that slide left and right on the stage depending on where the mouse is on stage. If I take focus off the browser, like if I decide to check my email or open another tab in Firefox, when returning to my flash movie, all the elements have moved off the stage, and when focus is put on the stage, will slide back to the correct position.
I'm using an event listener on the stage to detect mouse movement...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, parallax);
The function is below is trimmed down example of the function I use...

function parallax(event:MouseEvent) :void {

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
I know I can detect flash gaining and losing focus with these callbacks:
stg.addEventListener( Event.DEACTIVATE, deactivateCb, false, 0, true );
stg.addEventListener( Event.ACTIVATE, activateCb, false, 0, true );
But is there anyway to directly query flash if it has focus or not?
(Trying to figure out if flash has focus when starting up...)

Is there a way to set focus on a textfield in Flash?
Like Javascript's: document.formname.textfield.focus();
I've recently noticed that when Flash goes into full-screen mode, triggered by a double-click, Firefox (3.0.1) takes the focus - if the user clicks anywhere on the screen outside the area of the original (non-fullscreen) Flash player area, Flash returns to non full-screen mode. Also, the cursor changes to reflect whatever is on the browser page beneath the fullscreen Flash app - i.e. it changes to a hand in areas where there is a link on the HTML page, or to a bar in areas where there is a textbox.
View 3 RepliesIn my flash movie, every time when I click on a button, it takes focus off of the stage. And I have to reclick the stage in order to interact with it again. Is there away to fix this issue. I am making a game and it will be very annoying if the player has to keep reclicking the stage in order to take control of the game every time they click on a button.
View 1 RepliesI have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.
I built this incredibly brilliant scrolling thumbnail image viewer for a client in flash actionscript 3. (Basically it just scrolls up or down depending on the mouse position). It works so so, (I can never get the percentages right so that it shows the top most image) but, that's beside the point. What is REALLY irking me is when I have the browser window open with my .swf loaded and I click on another app on my desktop, the stupid scrolling thumbnail area in the browser window starts to freak out.
"Where is my mouseY?" I assume it is thinking.
Is there a stage.Unfocus event I can tell my scrolling thumbnail area to STFU with?
I'd even consider writing some javascript to call a flash function, if that's a preferred technique.
function checkMousePos(e:Event):void
{
if(mouseX < 145){

I have a web page where users can play flash games. We are now making some changes to the page which requires the games to be embedded with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque so that we can show HTML elements on-top of the flash games. The problem is that in Internet Explorer (on all versions) the whole page scrolls if a user presses the up/down arrow keys. I've tried everything I can think of and I've spent a whole day searching for a solution without success.o far I've tried putting the game inside a iframe and I tried disabling the up/down keys with JS, none of which solves my problem.
View 4 RepliesI'm currently coding a Floorplan editor with Flex 4.I have a Floorplan Grid that extends the spark Group class. This Floorplan Grid will contain objects that extend the UIComponent class. I want the user to be able to select multiple objects on the Floorplan and be able for moving and resizing.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to have multiple objects being "focused" using the FocusManager, kind of like selecting multiple objects in Photoshop /Illustrator.
How can I get the previous focus/be able to compare strings?

In Flash (AS3) I am creating a contact form in that I have taken one " Submit Button" , one " Reset Button", four input text fields "Name, Email, Subject, Message" with instance names " contact_name, contact_email, contact_subject, contact_message". I am confused about setFocus and killFocus.
In AS3, I have given
contact_name.text = "Name";
contact_email.text= "Email";
contact_subject.text = "Sub";
contact_message.text = "Message";
Now when I publish this file, bydefault the input text field shows with text "Name, Email, Sub, Message". Now my requirement is if I click on Name Field so the text "Name" should get disappear so that I can enter my name, after that I click on Email field the text "Email" should get disappear at the same time I don't want to lose my Name which is entered in Name Field. If I click in Subject text Field the text "Sub" should get disappear but not to lose the Name and Email data entered by me. If I click in Message text Field the text "Message" should get disappear but I don't want to lose the data which was entered in remaining text fields.
I burnt so much time on a costume made component which extends NumericStepper.Adobe should be ashamed.. The flash component quality is poor.Now I'm at stage that all I try to do is to disable the numericStepper's focus rectangle.I haven't found a thing that works, all of the solutions I came across were Flex related.To clarify : this is a pure flash ac3 project.. no flex involved.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to override the default focus event on the in-built TextField class? So for example when a textfield gains focus a custom event is triggered rather than the default one? I know we can use the onSetFocus event, however we have over 1200 swfs that use TextFields so want to do it on a global scope rather than having to modify each individual swf.
The idea is that on an Android tablet selecting a TextField brings up the android keyboard that not only shrinks the flash content, but defaults to the alpha keyboard when all we want is numeric (it's a Maths app).
Just wanted to ask is it possible for a flash app to capture mouse and keyboard events when it loses focus. I've tried putting it in a div container through SWFObject library and than used jquery forward mouse events plugin, but without success. My idea was to capture mouse events (click event) on the body and then transfer it to the flash app
