Can't seem to find an event that gives me the textfield that lost focus when I tabbed, they all seem to supply the new focused textfield? I can store the current focus and then get that when focus changes but seems like an oversight... suggestions

ignore me

txt.addEventListener( FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, function(e:FocusEvent){ trace(e.currentTarget.name)});

Focus works soooooooo much better in as3

I just get fed up having to work out stuff that I used to do off the top of my head, or atleast be able to know what to look up.

For instance I was going to do a html link/function but that's changed so might be simpler for what I am doing to use an invisible button.

Generally though if I want to test something I have not used or some fiddly logic it is simplier to as3 it on the timeline before making it generic in a class, I am fed up with having to use flashvar here, as it means more test in browser :(, unless I can load it into a holder movie that injects them?

After a few days of coding I sometimes wonder why...
