Not even by using a mouseover event or a timer inside flash? No, not as far as I know. You can set the focus on an input field, of course, but that won't take effect until the user gives your .swf focus. You understand the security issues, so I won't belabor them. I've run into the same problem. I'm writing a math game where the user's response time is important. If they have to click on the browser window before typing the answer, that skews the results. We got around it by having the user log in, so the browser window should have focus when the problem is presented. If the user switches to another program--say, during the intoduction--we have no way of getting focus back until the user clicks on the browser. I'm working with a couple of the best in the business--Mark Jonkman and Raman Pfaf--and they both tell me the same. > And more rain on my parade: After uploading the flash movie to the server, > some of the links in the dropdown menu have stopped working - clicking on > the doesn't do anything, while others seem to be ok.

I assume you've checked the usual culprits--the URL is formed correctly, your .swf isn't busy in a loop, no security issues involved, etc. I'd use the debug Flash player and FlashDevelop to trace out what happens when the button is clicked.
