that's because the second field really does get focus before you set it back. I would add dirty flags so that validation returns true if nobody typed anything in that TextInput

The problem is now that if I have the same method called from both the text inputs then the application is going into a recursive loop. The application source code is attached for reference: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="vertical"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private function validateField(event:Event):void{ if (TextInput(event.currentTarget).text == "abc"){ } else { callLater(event.currentTarget.setFocus); } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:TextInput id="firstInput" focusOut="validateField(event)"/> <mx:TextInput id="secondInput" focusOut="validateField(event)"/> </mx:Application> Regards, Harsha
