Hello!

> stage.focus = txt\_firstnameEdit;

I need to make the blinking cursor at the txt\_firstnameEdit when i enter the stage. but the blinking cursor appeared infront of string\_0. string\_0 is pre-entered in the textbox in my code.

For example this is what I see in the textbox…

> **I** Nameless

**I** = The blinking cursor.

How do I make the blinking cursor go behide like this?

> Nameless **I**
