Thanks to Glen Pike. The solution ended up being very simple. I blanked the text in the input field using enterPage.onSetFocus as below, then added Selection.setFocus(null); to all other controls on that screen so the text field always gets its focus set when clicked.
enterPage.onSetFocus = function() { enterPage.text = ""; go_btn._visible=true; }; go_btn.onRelease = function() { Selection.setFocus(null); if (enterPage.text != "") { if (enterPage.text<=19) { whichPage = int(enterPage.text); holder_uh.myPageFlipperuh.gotoPage(whichPage); go_btn._visible=false; } } }; Alan Neilsen This message is for the named persons use only.
