ActiveX Web Browser control not accepting mouse-clicks in windowed project

[GregRohman webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a Director MX project with an embedded WebBrowser control. In authoring mode, the browser functions properly. When I create a full-screen projector, it also functions properly. However, if I create a windowed projector, the browser control does not receive mouseclicks properly. Clicking anywhere inside the projector produces a flicker in the browser. Hyperlinks, form elements, etc. inside the browser also do not work.

If I click outside of the projector (to lose focus) and then click back on it, the browser functions correctly.

Any thoughts?

-Greg

You can fix it with:

on exitFrame
moveToFront (the stage)
end

at some point before people start clicking on the web browser sprite.

Thanks for the tip. However, it didn't seem to alleviate the problem. The first click seems to work, but subsequent clicks do not.

You're right!! I never checked past the first click. This seems to allow
more than one click:

-- on frame script, sprite 1 is the browser

property lastLoc

on beginSprite me
lastLoc = ""
end

on exitframe me
if sprite(1).LocationName <> lastLoc then
moveToFront (the stage)
lastLoc = sprite(1).LocationName
end if
go the frame
end

Thanks for the tip. As of now, the client preferred the projector to run full-screen as opposed to windowed anyways, but I will try this out of sheer curiousity.

Thanks again for the assistance.
