here’s the code

```auto
private function makeNewScreen():void
		{
			trace("makeNewScreen");
    		switch(newScreenName)
			{
        		case "playScreen":
 				//playScreen = new PlayScreen();
           		 playScreen = new PlayScreen(rocksX1,rocksY1);
            	 screenLayer.addChild(playScreen);
				[COLOR="Red"]stage.focus = playScreen;[/COLOR]
				//playScreen.addEventListener("playScreenAdded",addCollisionStuff);
       			 break;

```

when i have this line active([COLOR=“Red”]the red one[/COLOR]) it gives me automatic focus, so no clicking to be able to detect key input so i got that going for me which is nice BUT when i have it active(not commented out) i get this big yellow line which goes away when i click it(seeBelow)
