A user recently reported a problem that I've never observed. We have a Flex SWF embedded into our HTML application that displays a series of charts.
In IE6 if you go to another window and come back to IE6 and your cursor was placed in a text field, the focus is lost. This seems to happen for any HTML page that contains a SWF. You can verify this issue by going to Adobe.com and placing the cursor in the "Search" box at the top of the page. Now if you ALT+TAB away and ALT+TAB back to the IE6 window, you'll see the cursor is no longer in the input field. If you run the same test on Google.com, you'll notice the cursor stays put. While this is a corner case, it's affecting some of our clients because the bounce back and forth frequently between our web app and their e-mail clients. So, now on any page with a SWF embedded, it's forcing them to replace their cursor--which they never used to have to do. More on my blog: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:606 Any ideas on how I might fix this issue? I tried placing the SWF in an IFRAME--to see if that changed the behavior. I've also messed around with Window object to see if there was an event I could find which would dictate when the Window lost/received focus, but there's nothing that tells me exclusively when the window is activated again (the focus event doesn't work well because it's triggered for lots of in-page operations.) Thanks! Dan
