I'm trying to put the cursor in an input text field as soon as I get to a certain frame. I'm using Selection.setFocus() but it does not seem to work. It returns true but I still can't see my cursor and I can't type to the field until I click in it or tab to it. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm neglecting to do?

should work, but there are issues, if you test in the autoring environment, so to be sure test in the browser or executable.

Yes, I did pass the text field to the setFocus call, and I'm testing the swf outside of the Flash dev environment with the same results. Anyone else?
