If I'm getting this right, you're running into the annoying 'feature' of the 
FocusManager stealing focus when a 
TextArea/TextInput/ComboBox previously had focus. If that is the case and you 
want to get rid of it, use the following, preferably 
in the main timeline of you app

function onMouseDown():Void {
    focusManager.enabled = false;
}
function onMouseUp():Void {
    focusManager.enabled = true;
}

focusManager is a movieclip instance created by the v2 Component Framework. It 
lives in the root/main timeline.
So if you need to target it from within a class, use _root.focusManager

It's one of those exceptions where using _root is kewl (in my book) ;-)

Does that fix your problem?

Muzak
