Sometimes when i test movie(ctrl+enter) the movie itself looses focus behind flash IDE. I think its only when i’m tracing something. So makes sense to say the output gets focus as its tracing…but it only happens like 10% of the time. When it happens i cannot get focus back to the testing swf. I click on it and it blinks immediately going back to the trace output. I need to restart flash to get it back to normal.  
using Windows 7  
anyone else ever notice that?
