HTML/Browser? Issue

Hi!

So, I don't know much about HTML or how to get things working properly on the interwebz, so I've only done the most basic of basics to get my flash project online. I just used an object tag with the default parameters and designated it the index.htm file on the server.

So that functions fine.


The issue is that if I pull the tab from Mozilla and put the project in it's own window, buttons stop working. The buttons will only become active when the mouse is moving. Otherwise, nothing is clickable.

Another problem is that the AS2 code is still running even if I'm in another tab.

For example: If I navigate away to a different tab to do a google search, when I hit enter, not only do I start searching, but I also activate an object within my project. Or when I hide the mouse to use a custom cursor, flash is still trying it's damndest to hide my mouse when I'm in other tabs.

I honestly don't remember flash EVER doing this in the past, so maybe it's something I'm doing?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
