Well, if I can set the focus of a textfield in a movie that hasn't got the
focus, how can I set the focus to that movie via Lingo - the activeWindow
system property being "unsettable". And why does a click on MIAW A not
switch the property "the activewindow" to MIAW A? (I checked that with the
watcher, the stage remained the activeWindow).

Never mind that you forgot why, maybe you can tell me HOW you work around
it. What I need is a text field in a MIAW that executes a keyUp handler no
matter what the user does with the mouse and no matter what window is
active.
Thanks a lot!
