Try setting focus before popping up the alert. You can also set focus on close via callLater. Both may show a flicker of the focus ring.

I tried this without success: private function accountCheck():void { if(goodsInGrowerAccount.text == "") { Alert.show("Please enter an account number\nbefore entering an advice note number",'Caution:', 1, this, changeFocus, stopIcon); } } private function changeFocus(event:CloseEvent):void { if(event.detail == Alert.OK) { goodsInGrowerAccount.setFocus(); } } What am I doing wrong please?
