hi ned

yes sorry thats how i have it, but it wont focus on the textfield

ive read it has something to do with security when loading in a textfield?

not sure about this though

hmm maybe there is something else wrong,

so id use stage.focus = instance name even if the scene were preloaded also?

thanks

Your best bet for gettng help is to show the code you are using and explain what it is trying to do. If the textfield is inside a loaded swf, then you can't get to it directly, you need to target it thru the loaded swf, which may mean targeting it thru a Loader.
