I have a audio player that takes its audio file name from a link in the HTML. I'm using ExternalInterface.call in Flash with a JavaScript link in the HTML.

My player has a function that normally runs when the space bar is pressed. However, when I select an HTML link, I lose focus on the Flash player, so - when the space bar is pressed nothing happens. If I click the player to give it focus, then the space bar works on the player.

How can I return focus to the player after the HTML click? Here is what the html link looks like.

<p>1. <a class=Uline href="javascript: void();" onclick="makeCall('normalSong')" title="Normal Song" border=0>Audio 1.</a></p>

Thanks.
