setFocus() with Components

[thesquirrel]

Hi

Having any component in your library, plays havoc with the way setFocus() works.

For instance if I use


Selection(myText_txt)


to set the text cursor in a text field. And then click outside the textfield, it looses focus.

However, if I have a component in my library, when I click outside the textfield it doesn't loose focus.

This is having all sorts of mad knock-on effects on my project.

Does anyone know why this happens and how I can stop it?

Any help would be really appreciated, it's driving me mad.

Cheers

By adding:

Selection.setFocus(this);

inside the on (press){ script or the ill-fuctioning button you want focus back on, the component appears to release the focus and the movie returns to normal.
