SetFocus upon Frame Entry 1

[TulsaJeff]

I know how to get the tab key to make the focus jump from one dynamic text box to the next but what I need is for one of the boxes to be already selected and the cursor blinking when the user gets to the frame. this would allow them to start typing in the info without having to select anything first.

I have tried

Selection.setFocus("dynamictextbox");

on a clipEvent, within a keyframe and on a button but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have an example of some actionscript where this is working? Ya' Gotta Love It!

On the clip itself holding an input textbox:

onClipEvent (load) {
Selection.setFocus("varText"
}

Will set focus to an input textbox with a variable named varText.

On the main movie's timeline, the following would do the same in a movie clip named mc_Text:

Selection.setFocus("mc_Text.varText"

Regards,
