So I have an html page that contains a link which opens another html page with a swf embedded in it. In the swf, the user has to type in some information in order to advance through the swf. The problem is that in order to type in information, the user has to click inside the swf in order to make it work. Is there a way to make the swf automatically active so that they don’t have to click inside the window first?

That’s the link and I hope it opens for you if you want to see it. This is the HTML that opens after you click on the link inside the main HTML.
