Shockwave ActiveX typing problem

[brokenwinter]

I'm using the shockwave activex in my vc++ project but when I press keys into the editbox on the flash applet it loads, they don't show up. All that happens is I get a beep from my computer. However, it is recognizing when I press the arrow keys/tab etc, just not the main a-z 0-9 keys. It's definately not the applet, that works fine when I load it in explorer or from my old vb client. Any idea's?

It sounds like some other window has the keyboard focus. Did you try giving the focus to the flash control, or query the current focus and see which window has it?
