Hi Enrique, Not sure if this works but try issuing an updateStage after moving the text field.
Other possible solution is to have the field non-editable until you move it and then make it editable. Then, when you move it off stage again turn it to non-editable. HTH Jorge -----Original Message----- I have an interesting problem with a text field. First let me explain what I want to do. When the user clicks on a button a writing board appears and the user types in text he wishes to copy to another program (like Word for example). The writing board has a button that when clicked copies the text to the clipboard and hides the board again. The writing board has a background, an editable text field and a button. All three items are kept off the stage until needed. The problem. ========== My problem is that after the user typed in his text and clicked on the button to copy the text to the clipboard and hide the writing board, a blinking text insertion point remains on the stage on the same position where the insertion point was when the user finished typing. I tried to refocus to the score by using the keyboardFocusSprite but it didn't work. I did notice that when I place another window on top of the stage and then focus again on the stage the insertion point goes away. Is there a way to force the stage to do a redraw? Or better yet, does anyone have a solution to the problem?
