I lost you in there, particularly the part about starting movie B runs key
up handlers in miaw a, particularly since B is supposed to launch A, so how
is it that the handlers run in A when you start b?
Generally, a keyUp handler on a sprite doesn't mean much unless that sprite
is a text field or something that can receive key presses. Otherwise, how
do you know which sprite the key was intended for?
Movie-wise, I haven't tried to test scenarios with keys in MIAWs, but I
would guess that the movie handler that would succeed in getting the
keypress would be the one associated with whatever stage had focus at the
time. You can have a bazillion windows open at a time (well, maybe
32,767), but only one is the one with focus, and I'm guessing that if a
keyup was generated, would be delivered to that movie only. By clicking on
the stage or sprite of one of your movies, you're changing the focus to
that movie.
Given all you were talking about about A and B, would this make sense given
that? I got lost in your example, but would what I said apply and make sense?
