Macromedia and sendkeys!

[Bengerman]

omg lol , im about 99.99% sure that macromedia has a diffrent ascii value then e.g notepad i made a small bot which works fine in notepad but these keys will not send in any macromedia applications

sendkeys "{tab}"
............... "{right}"
................"{down}"

i need to know if they have a specific value in macromedia? , thanks for your help and as i said it works fine in notepad

or else the tab order of the controls is not what you think it is.

The player has to have focus. You have to click into the player to have it accept keyboard entry.

forogt to mention that , i set focus with appactivate and that works fine , if i send text to the macromedia application it will type it out , if i try tab , right , left , down etc it just has no effect

Does the right control have focus?

Have you tried waiting until SendKey's returns before sending the next command? (So SendKeys "{value}", TRUE)

What happens when you do the exact same key sequence manually?

[Bengerman]

the focus works fine , and they are in good sequence for example if i type letters it works just when i want to use controls like , right arrow and tab key etc it just doesnt work grrr , typing them manually does though
