hey, i created a game with 2 frames: 1 is the welcome screen + player name input text box. the other is the game itself. at first the game didn’t have the welcome screen, and if i wanted to play (with the arrows keys) there was no problem to type one of the arrows and make the player move… since i added the first frame, in order to play i must click somewhere on the stage and only then i can press the arrows keys… before clicking nothins happens! it is important to mention that it happens in the flash player ( i didn’t check what happens in web browsers…) how can i set the focus of the game in the second frame? tnx a lot!
