279984 - Attempting to tab through buttons in a Flash movie causes focus to leave the Flash movie.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Wevah (Nate Weaver)]

Tabbing through buttons in a Flash movie doesn't work properly: when I press tab
in a movie, focus leaves the movie. I can then tab through the page, and only
when I get back to the movie does the next button in the movie become selected.

This seems to work fine in Flash using only an <object> tag (with proper |data|
attribute) instead of <embed>.

Mac plugins are windowless, right?

Reporter, what build are you using?  In particular, could you test with a
nightly build from 2005-01-22 or later?

Sorry, yes, this still occurs with the build I'm running now:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050203
Camino/0.8+

Does it happen with Mozilla builds too, I assume?  Not just Camino?

Wevah, is this still an issue (do you have a testcase)?  I remember aaronl made some plugin focus changes on the branch about a month ago....

This seems to be working now, on the few sites I've tried. One of the plugin focus bugs probably took care of this.
