Wmode and hidden tabs...

[renderhjs]

I found actually a interesting thing

So I was having a little shufty through the AS3 Language Reference at the weekend and I came across this in the class flash.display.Stage

activate: The activate event occurs when Flash Player has gained OS focus and is becoming active.
deactivate: The Stage object generates the deactivate event when the Flash Player is losing operating system focus and is becoming inactive.

propably like this:

stage.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, functionUnpause);
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, functionPause); 

[edit]yes it seems to be used like this- works like a charm in the IDE... browsers are next[/edit]

the official Adobe help doesn´t say much- in fact its rather hidden

now this would be interesting to check if it even works with the wMode- I´m including it right now in a engine - pausing it if there is no focus. Will test it later if it works in FF,Opera and Chrome with and without wMode
