Need to pause Flash movie when browser movie not in focus

[JeffStoker]

I am trying to figure out how to communicate to a flash movie from an .html page to make the movie pause when the window that contains it is not in focus, and resume when the window regains focus.
I'm not too familiar with javascript, I'm more knowledgable with flash.

I can repetedly call a javascript function on the page from flash to check results, but don't know how to code a javascript function to check if page is currently in focus.

Will onBlur do the trick somehow?

I appreciate all suggestions.
Thanks

put the onblur in the body tag of the page.

I tried the onblur and haven't got it to work yet, but I think I can work that out.

If that will work, what is the opposite of onblur? To trigger a function when the window returns to focus?

Thanks
