Yeh - testing since I wrote that pretty much confirms what you said. However the symptom is exactly as described for IE. By that I mean you have click ONCE ANYWHERE on the flash object laszlo creates and boom the button that has focus really does get its focus - by this I mean prior to anything else our code does succesffuly call the LzFocus mechanism and you see the little bracktes move over to surround the button we want to be default. Its just that page ignores any keypress until you take and click on the flash object (clicking the surrounding html page does not help)
You know its not an end of the world issue but its incredibly frustrating because I know it SHOULD work. I'll keep plugging away at it....at this point I think its probably not a laszlo issue per-se I think it's a plugin or flash issue but I'm going to try to make a simple flash movie with one button and reproduce it without laszlo at all. -----Original Message----- From: P T Withington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 8:21 PM To: Andrew Chandler Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Laszlo-user] Focus not working in firefox - I think maybe I figured it out embed.js and flashobject.js are basically the same, they both use Javascript to create the object tag dynamically rather than statically, which MS believes skirts the EOLAS patent. Either should work equally well. Flashobject.js has the advantage of being used by a much larger community so perhaps has worked around some niggling details, but I would be very surprised if that affected your focus issue. EOLAS has not sued anyone other than MS, to my knowledge, so no other browser vendor has done anything about their patent.
