I'll try some stuff, but ultimately it might be better to say 'click
here to begin' and get focus that way, if browsers are being funny about
focus for whatever reason. I'm out of the office now till Monday, so
will be on the email, but not with my code. Next week is busy, also with
a couple of days out, then I'm on holiday for a fortnight (hurrah). I'll
see if I can at least reproduce the issue though, but it will be next
week.

Last resort option.

why not just put some text under the swf to say "please click on it
before starting"

I asked Deborah to try using a component to load the swf instead of an
icon.


Probably won't help, but stranger things...

Sure...., ehmmm,. no rules.... ;-)
Julian, if you want, I can have a look too... EU against US... yes!

The only thing in this scenario that bothers me, is that Deborah would
not really benefit from this....

Julian wrote to me directly so I am sending him the whole file with the
rlo.  Shall I post it on the list too?

Need the rlo as well so we can see how the swf is loaded.
