FLASH: text field activation

[Scott Hilburn]

I am currently working on a project that simulates a piece of

Equipment.  This equipment requires user input.

To simulate this, I am creating a text field.

Normally a text field must be clicked, in order for 

It to be activated (or editable).  However, my client wants the

Text field to simulate the equipment EXACTLY- in that the

Text field should be active without having to click inside of

It first.  


Is there a way to make the mouse inactive while also making the

Text field active and independent of the mouse-click?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
