No keyboard input detection when running in Firefox?

I've got a game that accepts and responds to keyboard input just fine if I run the .swf file in Flash Player. However, when I open a Firefox browser and click Open file... for this .swf file, everything except keyboard input works (collision detection, AI, animation, etc.).

Any clue why?

ActionScript

you can force focus in AS but you might have to find a js script to also give the swf object focus on the page.

stage.focus=__

Thanks guys... I'm not even sure what to look up when trying to find out how to work around the browser focus issue with code. Typing "browser focus issues" would just give me lots of complaints about the issues... Any suggestions?

Is it even possible to detect focus problems and then do something about it with ActionScript?
