Try to listen to Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE. It works in the majority of cases.

Thank You. That is excellent.

I noticed that the events get fired and acted upon in the test environment and if I publish to an exe - but not if I publish to html.

No problem - I'll just use the exe.

You are welcome.

Actually it is supposed to work in html as well. I tested it. The only issue is that it doesn't work all the time. I cannot tell what use cases make this fail in html.

you can use javascript to detect those events and you can use the externalinterface class in flash to communicate with javascript. in particular, check the callback() method.
