[AS3] Detecting stage focus lost

sorry if I'm being an awful thickie here, but am trying to work out how to detect that a Flash movie no longer has focus (so i can then pause a game and display a 'click here to re-activate game' message), this is do-able in AS3 isn't it?

Danke,

stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, deactivateListener);

There's a weird bug in Safari though. If you're holding down a key and you click on another Safari window the event doesn't trigger, but if you click outside the flash movie in the same window or on the desktop it works fine. Works fine in Firefox when I tried the same thing. Weird.

I have it done here without mouse click and works as well, just mouse hovering:

using

PHP Code:

---

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE , leaveFunction);
//and
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,returnBackCheckFunction); 


---

I just switched a boolean variable between the 2 so I know when the focus is off and when to check for when to switch on back again.

yeah thanks guys, have got it working now (athough due to some corner cutting early in my engine, the pause function in my game needs some work)..

thanks for the help, and hopefully will actually be able to show you all my game soon,
