Re: Director/Flash/Keyboard events

It might be.  Also, the keyboardFocusSprite may need to be constantly tested 
and set.  In my case, I needed that to change nearly all the time because 
the stakeholder wanted accessibility tabbing pre-MX between buttons and text 
fields as well as a raft of unique key commands.  Each fix begat new bugs, 
so we eventually abandoned the functionality.

Thanks for simplifying this for me; in case MX doesn't fix this for me, I've 
filed away your answer.

Todd, could you please post your results to the list?  Thanks!

so one solution to this 'Flash grabbing keyboard focus' issue might
be to have a #text sprite hidden off the visible stage, set to
#editable?
