Hi

I need some help with KeyboardEvent.

First, now I nead to click with the mouse on the stage for the eventlistener to register a keyboard press.

How can I set the focus to the stage at all time?

Second, I am making a videoPlayer. When I enlarge it to fullscreen the KeyboardEvent stops working even if it did work before. Why and how do I fix it?

I’m useing Flex.

Cheers
