flash on focus get keypressed

[pentium10]

Hello,

I have this code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" 
onmouseover="startCount('2021')"  onmouseout="stopCount('2021')" onkeypress="countkeypress();">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.gamestocash.com/swf/f-877.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="true">
<embed width="550" height="400" src="http://www.gamestocash.com/swf/f-877.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

you will notice the onkeypress="countkeypress();" event
it doesn't fire? why?
how can I count the keystrokes with javascript when the flash movie is focused?
please help me, it's urgent

Thank you,
Pentium10

This might be why:

Events are sent directly to the OBJECT element. If the event is returned by the embedded object, it bubbles accordingly. If the event is not returned, it does not bubble.
