Hi,

Bit of a simple one really. I want to set the selection or focus so that the cursor is placed inside of the first field of a form that i am making in Flash MX when the user enters the form page.

The field variable name is “comments”

Can anyone tell me how to make this work as I have tried many ways without success,

many thanks

MArll
