I missed out the () sorry.. I have it working somewhat how I want, when a form is hidden I set focusEnabled to false and set the default push button to null and the new form activates it enables itself as focusEnabled and sets its own default push button. This has stopped my hidden forms processing when someone hits the "enter" key so I'm part way there.
I guess what I'd like is a focus manager per form or set of controls instead of a global one. The issue I have right now is a have a "panel" with 2 forms on it and i can't get focus to jump from one form to the other even if I set the child property to true so the focus manager knows the panel has children. The interesting thing was none of the macromedia docs recommend how to get a focus manager instance and doing _level0.focusManager is not good programming practice for me.
