1. Re: Captivate 4 - playback control via keyboard
brightonjon Sep 18, 2011 2:10 AM (in response to Nickels55)The TAB key should allow users to select all the interactive elements in the browser window, including the playback controls.
In addition, if you have additional navigation elements (buttons, click boxes) you can set a shortcut key for those in the Properties panel.

2. Re: Captivate 4 - playback control via keyboard
Nickels55 Sep 18, 2011 7:40 AM (in response to brightonjon)The issue is actually in the HTML code. The tab key doesn't work on firefox until you are focused on the flash object by clicking on it. This defeats the purpose of keyboard accessibility. In order for the tab key to work when the page loads you need to change the code to window mode of opaque. Then on firefox the flash object is fully accessible. Thanks!

brightonjon Sep 18, 2011 8:24 AM (in response to Nickels55)Interesting, it always just works for me, including with Firefox.
Indeed, I think one of the common moans about Flash objects is that it sometimes steals the TAB focus and won't give it back. There's an article here about that which may help albeit in reverse:

Have you tried using CTRL-TAB to cycle around the open tabs to see if the Captivate objects picks up the focus next time around?
Alternatively, have a look at the Javascript focus method. Though a quick look at the default html that Cp produces shows it's already including the focus method, so it sounds like a Firefox bug.
