Question Sending Keystrokes to Control

[TEMPTii]

Hi, I'm new here and I have a problem.

My form contains a Button and a Flash Control. The Flash Control contains a game referenced to a website. I want to send keystrokes into that control (the game) without having to be in focus. I'm not experienced in flash so when I decompiled the game, I had no idea how to script a way for it to work programatically.

Pretty much, on Button1.Click, I want to send keys into the flash game or directly to the Flash Control inside the form. Help please?

I wrote this article 3 and a half year ago but, maybe you can still find it useful
HOW TO: set up interaction between vb.net and .swf (flash) - vbCity - The .NET Developer Community

P.S. unfortunately the screen-shots have been deleted but, luckily the flash and vb.net attachments can be still downloaded.

I've tried this method before. The flash game that I'm trying to interact with has a lot of scripts in it. It's not a normal flash game I can tell you that much so that way of communicating is out of the question. Thanks though.

It would be best that I just send keys to the flash control. The PostMessage and SendMessage functions look promising but I'm not sure how to send it to a control instead of another application.
