[haXe] Screenweaver on a Mac doesn't accept keyboard input

[Matthew Bergsma]

Can anyone out there confirm that it is possible to run a windowless  
SWHX app on mac that will accept keyboard input?

I tried a few extra things with packaging up my app, and I am still  
unable to get keyboard input on a transparent swhx app on the mac. I  
am curious if anyone has been able to do it?

Here is what I have tried:

1. packaging up all the resources and contents into the swhx.app file  
to create a single standalone application that does not require  
anything to install. As expected, this behaves the same way as just  
placing the bootloader alongside the resources, and does not allow  
keyboard input to a plain SWF with a single input text field.

2. Running the app as Sudo. (hey if it's a permission thing, it was  
worth a shot).


Thanks for any help.
