Hello,

I have a problem with an input text created dynamicly into a MC that is into a MC that is into a MC (…)  
So it’s, let’s say:  
\_root.myclipA.myclipB.myclipC.myinputtext  
now as my input text isn’t on \_root, i can’t get focus on it (i can never add any text).

How can i do to be able to input some text in that textfield? It cannot be moved elsewhere because i drag myclipC when i press myclipB…

any ideas?
