Buttons lose focus passing data

programming flash
1

Very strange. I’m using the following function to pass characters to 2 text input components, but sometimes (and much more often with the “Password” field), after I click a button, the button loses focus and I have to move the mouse to regain the rollover state and be able to click the button again. When I’ve lost focus, if I click the mouse, it just changes the button to the rollover state but doesn’t pass the value…

Here’s the code:


var Focus:String = "";
function KeyPadButtonClick(_id:Number) {
    // default the focus to the UserID
    if (this.Focus == "") {
        this.Focus = "UserID";
    }
    if (this.Focus == "UserID") {
        this.UserID.text = this.UserID.text+_id.toString();
    }
    if (this.Focus == "Password") {
        this.Password.text = this.Password.text+_id.toString();
    }
}

The zip file is attached.

Any ideas???

TIA!!!
