This problem is happening because your third textfield is the last control in the tabOrder in your application. The problem only happens when you tab out of the third box - because there are no more controls in the tab order, hitting tab give the browser focus. So after the browser gets focus, giving focus to your text field makes the Flash Player highlight the field like it has focus, but the browser (keyboard) does not have focus. A very simple way to workaround this for now is to add another control to your page. Anything that can get focus from a tab event. Like a button, text input, whatever. That way, when you hit tab out of the third control, another flex control gets focus automatically when the tab event fires and focus stays in the flash player and then your focusout event gives the textinput focus and all is well. Or you could play around with trapping the keyboard (tab) event and setting the focus to your first textinput in that handler (and stopping propogation). Karl Cynergy
