Hi,  
I’ve two problems as follows: a movie plays until there is a text input, where a user have to enter a password. If the password is 1234, than the movie goes on. I want to focus the input box, so the cursor blinks when the movie stops, so the user knows where to type the code. I’ve tried with Selection.setFocus(\_root.inputboks) with no luck ☹

Other problem is that keyPress \<“Enter”\> is ignored. It ony will work with mouseclick…?

Here is my code from the button.

on(release, keyPress “\<Enter\>”)  
{  
if(inputboks.text == “1234”)  
{  
gotoAndPlay(18);  
video\_movie.gotoAndPlay(4);  
}  
else  
{  
wrongcode.text = “Wrong password…”;  
}  
}
