> look up 'the keyboardFocusSprite' Hi Buzz,
it wasn't me who asked the question, but I have the same problem with the editable text sprite (Dir 8.5 German, win2k). For me 'the keyboardFocusSprite' has no or no reliable effect. Just now I have the problem that my movie starts with an editable text field sprite, that enables the user to input his name. When the movie starts, there is a text cursor on the field (even without using the keyboardFocusSprite). But when the user jumps back to that frame, the cursor is not there anymore. (Although he still can enter his data). With any minor change that I make in my movie, the strange behaviour changes. Sometimes, the cursor isn't there at the beginning, sometimes it is there, but input is only possible if the user clicks on the text field, sometimes the field can't be edited at all. In all cases where the text field reacts strangely the keyboardFocusSprite was of no use. Once I inserted a stop script (go to the frame) to check at what frame the error occurs or what script might cause the strange behaviour. The pure fact of inserting the go to the frame script made the text cursor behave normally. When I removed the stop script, the movie continued to behave normally, although the code was not different from before my debugging effort. As this is not the first time that I had problems with editable text cursors, I do think that there is a bug in Director. If there was a solution to this, I'd be glad someone told me ...
