Hi,

I’m making a little game in flash mx 2004. I got an problem I hope someone had an answer to. Is it possible to check if the flash movie has the focus in the browser? So if focus lost, like if the mailprogram autostarts, the game can pause itself until user mouseklick inside the flashmovie.

Thanx
