Giving Stage Focus When First Opening In Browser Window - How??

Is there any reliable way to give the stage focus when you first open it in a browser window WITHOUT first clicking on the stage? By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.
I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way. This is a joke, right???? How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup. Requiring the user to click on the stage first is totally stupid.
Has this problem been solved since all the other threads were posted, and if so, what's the solution?
Thanks.

for online swfs, it's a security issue and there's no reliable way to do it.  for local files, it's straight-forward.

    A mysterious audio file opens when I open my browser. How do I find and delete it?

    The other possibility is that someone with access to your machine (children?, co-worker?) set up all of your browsers to have that audio file set up as a default "home page". This is probably more likely than malware. I just tried with Safari, and it's definitely possible. Check out your Safari preferences and see what it shows as your homepage.

    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the Safari if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.   Wait.
    Safari will quit.
    Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.

  • Director opens 2 browser windows when link clicked

    Has anyone ever had this issue come up?
    Using director 8, I set up a link in a project using the goto
    netpage command, and in the exe file, when the link is clicked it
    opens 2 browser windows. Any ideas why?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    Sean

    No. I looked at all my script and behaviors first. I figured
    that's what i did, but i didn't.
    I may actually be cursed by adobe. It worked fine when it was
    just macromedia.
    Thanks

    There's a black space at the top of my window, and when I open the browser, my home page comes up but the address line is blank. How do I fix this?

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
    1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
    4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
    -> '''REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES'''
    -> '''When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • How can I stop firefox from opening multiple tabs when I open the browser.

    When I open my browser it opens a Firefox has been updated tab and a yahoo has been updated tab along with my home page. My home page settings have no extras in the address. Help

    Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
    Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

  • How can I make firefox give the focus (the cursor) to the address bar when I open a new window - as it does when I open a new tab (to about:blank)?

    When I open a new tab using CTRL-T, the address/awesome bar has the focus.
    When I open a new window using CTRL-N, it does not.
    Can the behaviours be made consistent via setting a configuration option or key?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello wodow, please check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#firefox:linux:fx27 safe mode], do you have the same behaviour ? DO NOT reset, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    thank you

  • When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
    cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • When I print from Gmail, I can't return to my e-mail and have to open another browser window. The back button become inactive.

    While using Gmail, when I print e-mail I can't return to my inbox or any other Gmail option. I am left "stuck" at the print window and have to open another browser window each time and go back into e-mail. Usually, I am still logged in after doing this, but sometimes I have to login to e-mail again. Thanks.

    How are you trying to change it ?
    You should be able to log out of an account by clicking on it at the top left of the store's pages on your computer's iTunes, or via the Store > Sign Out menu option (if you are using a PC and the drop-down menus aren't showing at the top of iTunes then control-B should get them to show). You can then sign in with your own account (the Store > Sign Out menu option should change to a Sign In option) - does that work ?

  • Firefox opens two windows when I open the browser

    When I open the browser it always opens two home page web pages
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed win 7 ultimate

    I had the same problem.
    Solved it by starting Thunderbird in a safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode), closed it and started normally...
    Thunderbird showed 1 window afterward... I did play around before that with disabling/enabling extensions but at the end the safe mode helped... Hopefully this helps someone :)

    Hi everyone!
    I will be posting this in all "weird sounds topics" just so you know.
    These "weird" sounds you hear are from pacman.
    Today is Pacmans 30:th birthday and google wanted to celebrate by making the pacman game playable at their website "www.google.com".
    You will notice that their logo is changed to pacman with the map swapped out to the text "google".
    The game will probably just be here today so all noises will be gone by tomorrow. If you don't want to hear the sound today then please don't visit google or just turn your volume down.
    Yours sincerely: LAwLz
