Hi Guys,

I have an input text field (not a component) inside of a movieclip. I was wondering if there was a way where when the text field loses focus (ie. when I click outside of a field, not when I tab or click into another field) if I could trigger a gotoandplay function in the movieclip. I have tried several methods and have been close, but unsuccessful. Thanks for your help!
