JAVASCRIPT running flash button

[gparis]

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.call("focus"); 

will set the focus to the Flash

Check the ExternalInterface Class in the liveDocs (link in my footer) for all communications between JS and Actionscript.

Your first post was unclear to me. My 1st answer was on how to trigger something in Flash when a key is pressed. Obviously not what you need right now.

yes, thank you. Is this externalinterface has something to do with AS3? bec i started creating the website in AS2..

[ayusuits]

anyone who could help me? Bec. I dont really have an idea how to start. Is it possible?


and can someone tell me what is the meaning of this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,keyPres sed); in this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function init():void {
i.setFocus();
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,keyPres sed);
}

private function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(event.keyCode.toString()=="84" && event.ctrlKey==true)
ExternalInterface.call('newtab');
}

]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TextInput x="23" y="268" width="256" id="i" text="Text Box"/>
</mx:Application>

<script type="text/javascript">
function newtab(e){
document.body.focus();
window.open('about:blank');
}
</script>

Or is it possible to setfocus on both flash file and html?

I mean, F1, F2, F3 when clicked will set focus on flash and run Key.getCode() == 113 from flash
but letters and arrow keys will function in textbox (html)..
