Window focus

I'm wondering what the actionscript is for seeing if a window is focused or not. I know that it's possible because when I play Flash Flash Revolution and I click somewhere else on my screen, for example I go to notepad or whatever, the game pauses.

This may help:

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._mouse, true) == false) {
/*
statements that are going to happen if the mousepointer is on a not-empty area of the stage
*/
} else {
/*
that are going to happen if the mousepointer is on an empty area of our stage or outside the stage
*/
}
}

hope this's usefull

sorry djones, hadn't seen your post yet, your solution looks better

Djones' solution is JavaScript so it won't work in Flash.

However, his method is halfway there. In order to do this you DO need to combine JavaScript and ActionScript.

I've never actually worked with JS communication to Flash, so I don't know how much help I would be, but this should help...

Also, as a point in the right direction, the javascript function that gets called to communicate to flash whent he window loses focus would be the onBlur event.
