button using keystroke

[injun]

I want to make a keystroke (using "i") stop sounds and another keystoke (using "y") to activate the sound again. It will work in the movie, but not in the html. Does anyone know why it won't work when embedded in the html page?

maybe the movie needs to have the focus before it works. Try clicking on the swf before pressing i or y.

the browser takes precedence until the movie is clicked,
unless you add a function in your html :

< script>
function focusIt(){
if(document.layers){
document.bob.focus()
}
else if(document.getElementById){
document.getElementById("bob").focus()
}
else if(document.all){
document.all["bob"].focus()
}
}
< /script>
< /head>
< body onload="focusIt()">

< object classid ... ID="bob" >
< param name=movie value="bob.swf">
< embed name="bob" ... src="bob.swf"....>

( remove the spaces - < script> etc.. )

That worked like a charm, thank you tremendously.
