Jacque,
Thanks for your (very prompt) response.
Unfortunately it does matter in this situation. setting the flag for
unchanged fields will create unnecessary network traffic.
We need something that will not send the "closeField" unless the field
has changed.
Another approach would be to "defocus" all fields after one has been
edited but I don't know anyway to remove focus from all objects.
Of course the very best would be something that removed focus and sent
closeField or exitField messages when other card/stack objects are
selected.

This almost works:
on closeField
setTheFlag
end closeField
The problem occurs when the user clicks a button, or uses the menu to
leave the card. On OS X the closeField command is not sent when
leaving
a field under these circumstances - the field never loses focus.
Is there a good way to send a message (like closeField) when the user
edits a field then clicks elsewhere?
This has caught me too. Try something like this in the card or stack
script:
on mousedown
get the selectedfield
if it <> "" then send "closefield" to it
end mousedown
This doesn't test whether a field has changed and so should really get
a
closefield message, but depending on your stack that may not matter.
