Hey! I’m new here, so I apologize if this is the wrong part to post this, but I have an issue:
I’ve made a flash I Spy game, and I’m trying to embed it in Dreamweaver (which I’m quite awful at).
I used the obvious Insert\>Media\>Swf
That’s all fine, except when I open the page in IE, it’s impossible to play the game, because the arrow keys cause the page to scroll. Normally (on [addictinggames.com](http://addictinggames.com) ect) it goes that you click on the game to “activate” it, and then keyboard pressed are ignored by the browser and sent straight to the SWF.
But I can not make it WORK! (frustration.):\*(
Ideas?
