[flexcoders] Re: FocusOut event fires over and over...
It may be a bug (Or a feature) in the SDK. I seem to recall Alex responding about when a pop-up closes, focus returns to the control that opened the pop-up. You may like to search the archives. One other thing to try would be adding an event listener for when the pop-up closes that prevents a new pop-up being opened until new text is placed in the text input. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Laurence lmacne...@... wrote: That doesn't seem to work either.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FocusOut event fires over and over...
Valdhor has a good memory, but that doesn’t sound like the issue here. Other things to check: Does the Popup implement IFocusManagerContainer (it does if it is a Panel/TitleWindow) and do you have code in the popup that sets focus to a control in the PopUp on initialize or creationComplete event (if not you should)? Then fall back on using callLater so the FocusManager can finish doing its TAB thing before you create the popup. Sorry I didn’t read this thread sooner.
