When I publish a Flash CS4 Pro / AS3 game to an SWF file and uploads it to my webserver, I have to click the screen before I can use keyboard events.
Is there a way to force a focus onto the "swf stage" when loading the file in the browser, or do I have to publish an html file that controls the swf file to do that?[url]...

when i have this line active(the red one) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
Does anyone know how to do this in AS3?

I have a game where you can move a character around on a screen, very simple. My problem is, I have to click on the swf object in my browser before it starts to recognize my input keys. If there a way to set set to my swf object either in html or the swf itself /w as3?
This is the browser code I keep finding on googing:
Actionscript Code:
<body onLoad="window.document.mymovie.focus();"> <object width="760" height="820"> <param name="mymovie" value="test.swf"> <embed src="test.swf" width="760" height="820"> </embed> </object> </body>
How can I check if a SWF element on a page has focus?
In IE, onkeydown events are not detected in JavaScript if a SWF has focus but Firefox always detects onkeydown.
Upon entering the screen, I set the focus to the first field, a combobox, and after making a selection I want to tab to the next field, a textfield, but I can't tab out of the combobox. I can use the mouse to click on the textfield and give it focus but I'd rather tab. I also tried to programatically give focus to the textfield (from the function associated with the combox's listener) without success.
View 10 RepliesI have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?
I have created a flash file that allows you to click on a thumbnail image and larger image appears ontop of a tshirt. The same way as a gallery would work. The images and thumbnails are pulled in through xml. However I have a problem, I need the images that appear on the tshirts to be .png files or gif files as the tshirt colour can be changed. At the moment my flash file will only display jpegs! I dont knwo why. The jpegs leave me with a white background, so I need the transparency of a png/gif. My actionscript is:

My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.
I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal. Is there anything

View 6 RepliesI was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

I have tried stage.focus but it doesn't seem to work the way I want.
I'm not that great with Actionscript 3.0, so naturally I have an hurdle to leap.
I using the 3D Carousel from flashcomponents.net and I need to figure out how to get the images blur when they are not the front focal on the Carousel. I tried an onRelease (which works to un-blur it), but I didn't know what else to pair it with so when I click on another object it blurs and goes to the back. I don't want it to blur when I roll off, only when another object is clicked.

I've been working on creatbutton using a MovieClip. I'm using the following events:

I try to figure out how does focus mechanism work in Flex. Here comes the example of what I mean:Let's assume that we have a simple web application, which contains custom component that extends Canvas and implements mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent. This component overrides focusInHandler and focusOutHandler methods and shows some feedback on how they are called (thinner or thicker border). This custom component also contains some Text.[code]
If you click once on a violet canvas it receives focus (focusInHandler is called), then if you click again the focus is lost (focusOutHandler called) - why?Of you click on a Text the Canvas receives focus (focusInHandler called) and keeps it when being clicked wherever on the area (focusOutHandler nevet called) - why?
I am trying to make an editable DataGrid to insert a new row when user presses TAB in the last column of last row.y Grid:

Now that setFocus() is gone, how do you tell the player to set focus to a specific input text field. I've searched thru the reference docs and haven't had any luck.

View 0 RepliesSometimes it is necessary just to kill focus (e.g. from the TextField instance). But I found no ways to do that. The only solutions is to set focus on another instance that handles mouse events.
View 9 Repliesi am using a simple flash email form with three input areas: name, email and message. What i have is an empty movie clip with an onClipEvent (mouseUp) action applied to it which removes the text within each text field when it is selected. This is so i can have "name", "email" and "message" written in the input text boxes, which dissapears when the user selects it. The problem is that if someone puts their text in then reselects it after doing something else, then their text also dissapears... i suppose im looking for a way to remove the focus just once, or another way of removing the focus. here is the actionscript applied to the empty movieclip:

Does anyone know if there is a way to set focus to the next item in the tabIndex? So for example (in psuedo code): stage.focus = whatever the next item in the tabIndex is
Maybe something like tabIndex.next? I know this doesn't work because I already tried it, but maybe something like it?
