I've created a simple test to replicate this problem: test.mxml <http://captiveimagination.com/download/test.mxml>
When the page loads it will display two buttons: "Test" and "Test 2". If you click on "Test" a "Floating" button will appear in the top left of the page. If you then click on the "Floating" button it will then disappear and focus will be lost from the application until you explicitly click back into the application. My problem is that I want to explicitly give focus back to the "Test" button, but it refuses to get it back and no matter how many times I hit tab, it never gets back to any component. This is why I think it's another FocusManager that's keeping me from being about to function, but I want to figure out a way to force focus back to my application's FocusManager.
