Does anyone have a working fla. that has a textfield in a Movieclip, and in which that textfield has focus? Put more clearly, I have a textfield in a Movieclip, and I want the textfield to have focus. I have the textfield working superbly when it’s not in the Movieclip, but once I drop it in a Movieclip, the textfield doesn’t have focus… I just started playing with Flash again after a 2-year layoff, so I have to get back up to speed with actionscript again… In any event, can anyone post a fla. or the code that would work…keep on flashing… Jay
