member().editabe and the blinking insertion cursor

[Slava Paperno]

I have a text member with its editable property set to false when its 
sprite is displayed on the stage. I want the member to become editable when 
the user clicks the sprite:

on beginSprite me
  sprite(me.SpriteNum).member.editable  = false
end
on mouseDown me
  sprite(me.SpriteNum).member.editable  = true
end

What happens is that when I click the text sprite, the member does become 
editable, and the focus is in the sprite, and I can type new text in. But 
the blinking insertion point is not displayed, and I have to type blindly.

I tried this:

on mouseDown me
  sprite(me.SpriteNum).member.editable  = true
  sprite(me.SpriteNum).member.selection = [1, 1]
end

but that made no difference: I can type into the box, but do not see the 
insertion cursor. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any tips,

Slava
