I am making a game and I have run into a problem where I need to reclick on the game with the mouse for it to recognize keyboard input. I know having to click on the flash game once is normal, but whenever my game restarts (goes to the first level) I have to reclick on it or they keyboard input does not work. How do I resolve this? Is there a way to request the attention of the keyboard or something?

thanks
