Tab key activates player controls or IE menus

I have created several software simulation assessments. They work wonderfully.  However, when I publish them to our LMS or preview in Browser mode the tab doesn't work properly.  It either activates the player bar and rewinds the interaction or if I disable the player bar it takes you up to the address bar in IE.

I searched forums and found this a known issue.  I tried all the suggestions with editing the AS3 files, the standard.htm and the standard.js. I can't get it to work right.  I am not a coder and reading those posts totally frustrated me. I don't know where in these files to add these lines of code.  I really am about to have a nervous breakdown because we need to start using these assessments for new hire testing and my manager is anxious to have these up and running.  I don't know how to fix this or create a workaround.  Somebody please help me.

    Ok which file I am editing with this code.  I opened the standard.htm and standard.js, didn't see this.....sorry, as I said, I am not a coder, I am a novice with JS.


    It's in the HTML that is the name of your project. It would look like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">

        var so = new SWFObject("seamless1.swf", "Captivate", "641", "511", "10", "#CCCCCC");

         so.addParam("SeamlessTabbing", "false");

      so.addParam("quality", "high");

      so.addParam("name", "Captivate");

      so.addParam("id", "Captivate");

      so.addParam("wmode", "window");

      so.addParam("bgcolor","#f5f4f1");

      so.addParam("menu", "false");

      so.addParam("AllowScriptAccess","always");

      so.addVariable("variable1", "value1");

      so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash");

      so.write("CaptivateContent");

    </script>

    What version of CP?

    Have you checked the seamless tabbing option when you publish?

    Are you publishing to SWF, HTM5 or both?
