hi,

I am duplicating Movie Clip which contains input text field.

I am assigning differnt names for the movie clip at the time time of duplictintg it.

When I enter any characters in any text field, it displyas the cursor in all other text fields.

On every moive clip, I have got the clip event as below:

onClipEvent (keyUp) {  
targName = this add “.inputField”;  
if (Key.getCode() != 9) {  
if (Selection.getFocus() eq targName) {  
tempVar = Number(this.\_name.substr(this.length-3, 3))-100;  
\_level0[“vartxt”+tempVar] = this.inputField;  
\_root.populateTextFiles(this.id, tempVar, this.textFieldGlbalID);  
\_root.textFieldStorage[this.storeID] = this.inputField;  
}  
}  
}

I am using Flash 5 for this. Is this problem is because of Key up.

why does it show cursor in other text fields.

thanking you
