you need to look at the keyboardFocusSprite
and use something along the lines of:
-- ensure the handler includes me eg. on checkReturn me or this will not
work
-- check if the return key has been pressed
if the key = RETURN then
-- check if the next sprite is editable
if sprite(me.spriteNum +1).editable = true then
-- if it is then set the keyboard input to that sprite
the keyboardFocusSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum +1)
else
--if it's not editable then do nothing or
-- the keyboardFocusSprite = sprite(the first editable sprite)
-- to cause it to loop back around
nothing
end if
end if
