conflict involving menubar

[rolan18]

In my applet I have a menubar with menus and some buttons...

I have found that before I use the menubar my button works every time I click on it, but after I open the menu (even if I don't select anything) I can't click the button more than once.

If I move the mouse before I click the button again then I the button does what it is supposed to again.

I was just wondering if there was a way to get around having to move the mouse before the button can do its task.

so I've determined that Flash is retarded in some senses...

The problem was that the menuBar would not release the focus, so my buttons were not able to execute their on press command properly.( hence the need to double-click on the button, or to move before clicking)

I resolved it by adding an onSetFocus function and used the setFocus function to change the focus to a button.(which had an on press function on it)
This doesn't cause an infinite loop because the focus does not get reset if you're setting it to the same place as the focus currently is.
