I'm not sure about the details of your ebook configuration, but perhaps it might help if you specify the focus of the page when the page loads.
That would be something like:
<body onload=firstformelement.focus(); >
to focus to the element I invented for the example, called firstformelement.
hope this helps -

Than you. but... sorry for my english.. the problem is betwenn the container (e-book) and the application. The focus initially is in the container and the menu key of the application don´t run. Only until you clic in the screen of application. I think is a problem in the e-book configuration , but i don´t know...

Did you try it, by adding the onload event to your starting html page of the application?

ah, Flash. that would make a difference.
How is your Flash app embedded/displayed/called by your ebook? What syntax are you using?

The flash application is published in a html document. When I run the html page with flash in IE, the menu keys run correctly, but in the e-book I nedd click in the screen previously.

I havn't had a chance to create a test file, but I can't help but wonder why your call to the .swf file is wrapped in JavaScript?
I need to buy a new monitor for my main work pc, and a few other tasks, so I'm a bit distracted....
... but if you want to expedite things, you can send me a pared down version of your project that fails, and I can look at it that way.

Thank you very much for your help.
The javascript call to .swf is maked for flash for detect if the customer has a last version of MAcromedia flash. I try to call directly as a HTML but the initial focus is in the e-book. If I run only the file index in IE, this don´t have the initial focus and the keys menu run correctly, why e-book no?
I upload the files e-booj, index and .swf to a internet address and you can download in a few minutes
I compiled the short version of your ebook , and it works fine; the flash looks the same, whether from the html page or the ebook. I get the Logo fading in, the background, the four menu options display, and if I hover over them, the ellipses appear to the right.
Perhaps you should look at your ebook on your desktop; it seems to be saving it on your 'P:' drive, which is probably on a network, right? If you're running it from the network, maybe that's causing a problem.
Either way, you should remove the 'onload=inicio04.focus();' from the </body> tag - it wouldn't work there for a number of reasons.
So, I would retest your ebook on your desktop and on someone else's, and see if it makes a difference.

You run the application and without mouse you clic the 1, 2, 3, 4 on the keyboard of the computer.
Don not answer
But if you previously clic with the mouse over the screen program the keyboard menu run corrrectly.
I hope to related well.

ah, now it all become clear.
Not to worry about your English, it's already much better than my Spanish....
In your index.htm file, you'll want to change your <Body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"; > tag (on line 6) to look like this:
and, in Internet explorer run ok, but when I compile the e-book, the problem appear.
Is necessary clic in the screen of the flash application previously for that the keyboard menu run.
is a little, but persistent problem...

Apologies. I thought I had it.
Problem for me is that my licensed copy of Activ is on a different computer than the one I can test on at the moment, so I use the Activ demo version. It has the nag screen at the start, so it isn't a fair test for your problem. Maybe Sunil can come up with a licensing scheme that allows an Activ Compiler installation on both a work and a home computer.
Anyway, it does seem that the ebook will not relinquish focus to the page itself, despite the fact that Flash is working. I tried to delay the onload focus for one second, but that didn't work either.
Would you be willing to have a small popup on the start page, like a 'hello' message, or navigation instructions, forcing the user to click on it to dismiss it, and thereby changing the focus to your page?
That would have the desired effect, if you didn't mind the extra step...

Yes, for the moment is a option, the window hello or similar to advert to customer about the use mode the keyboard menu.
A question, I don´t say if it is illegal but I think it is rasonable to have the same license in the work and in the house... for to work. I have the same license and run correctly in two sites.
If I find another solution I will tell to you
thank you very much. bye
