Activating keypad at beginning of website

I’m building a website that has the option of using the keypad to navigate the menu. If I test in flash I can use the keypad right at the beginning (if I press the right arrow it expands the first menu). However once I upload the sight, I have to click on the screen before I can activate the event listener. I use a seperate swf to preload it but even that when I test in flash works off the bat when the right arrow key is pressed.

Here is my website, I appreciate any possibilities for fixes on this.
