Flash in PDF - Buttons in Flash not always working

I have a Flash file with actionscript 3, published for Player 9.
My flash file has some buttons in it. (i.e. go to next screen, etc.)
I have the flash file opening in a floating window in a PDF file.
I'm using Acrobat PRo 9

PROBLEM:
. When the flash file is activated from the PDF, when I role the mouse over one of the buttons in the Flash file, the cursor flashes (as though there is something running) and I sometimes have to click the button more than once to finally get it to activate (execute the actionscript).

I am guessing it is because I'm not "focusing" on the floating window with the flash in it and the computer is trying to interact with the pdf file and the flash file.

Is there some actionscript to add to the flash file to force it to focus?

Thank you,
Julia

There shouldn't be anything special in your AS code to gain focus. Try updating Acrobat, there have been changes in this area since 9.1

One idea is that you ensure the Floating window opens at the dimensions of your SWF, if the size is not the same the hit point may not be detected correctly. The buttons work correctly if you have the SWF playing on the page as opposed to in a floating window?
