    Keyboard Events and External SWF

    OK. So, I finally found a way to exactly position my External SWF on the main stage. Here is the Actionscript I placed on an empty layer:

    Actionscript Code:
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("externalSWF",1);
    externalSWF._x=550;
    externalSWF._y=300;
    externalSWF.loadMovie("donation.swf");
    preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,100);
    function preloadF(){
    bl=externalSWF.getBytesLoaded();
    bt=externalSWF.getBytesTotal();
    if(bl>0&&bl>=bt){
    clearInterval(preloadI);
    externalSWF._width =720;
    externalSWF._height=480;
    }
    }

    As you can see, I created an empty movie clip and loaded the SWF into that. Now, here is my question. The external SWF has keyboard events to navigate around it. But, when I load it into this empty movie clip, the keyboard events don't work. Do I need to set the focus? Do I need to import the keyboard events?

    How do I do this in Actionscript 2?
