Setfocus, getfocus...I dunno

1

If anyone can help me with this it will be one of you,
I need to use something like a gotfocus event to tellTarget.
I have a flash (projector) animation that plays behind an application when the user exits his application window, but the animation uses alot of processing power so it must not play when the user’s application is the focus window, only when the "projector"file is the focus window.
I can already stop the animation from playing when the user presses the (flash) button that launces his application, but there is no event that fires to the flash movie to tell it to start playing the animation again when he/she exits the program and the flash movie has focus.

Does that make any sense, I hope so.
Please if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

Makes perfect sense.
I would think you need to send that “play” command from the other app back to the swf.exe, no idea how.
Maybe with one of the www.flashjester.com , http://www.northcode.com/ , or http://www.screenweavermx.com/index.cfm?nav=0
tools, don’t know, you’ll have to look through each one’s commands to see if they feature what you want.

Thanks Joe, I’m on it.

But I’m sure onSetFocus is the answer, I’ve been on every developer site known to man and …nothing, this seems to be a pickle.
