how to remove yellow bounding box?

Question

As I understand,

stage.stageFocusRect = false;will remove the yellow bounding box around buttons in my Flash app.However, it is throwing an error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.Is there a dependency I need to import first?Also, it is essential that I retain the ability to have key press event handlers (which is why the yellow bounding box is showing up).  So will stage.stageFocusRect remove the ability to use key press commands?If so, is there any way to retain keypress commands and remove the yellow bounding box?thanks

you just need to wait until your display object is added to the display list before trying to reference its stage property. ie, use the addedtostage event:

this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);

private function init(e:Event):void{
stage.stageFocusRect=false;

}

and your stage will still be responsive to events as usual.
