    Default Another gripe: The ActionScript window focus..

    Oh this winds me up in a package that calls itself Professional.

    I'm editting some actionscript in the editor window... I ALT-TAB to another program to check something... ALT-TAB back to Flash MX 2004 Prof and try typing some more into the actionscript window... but you can't!!!!

    The cursor is still there, but the actionscript window has lost the input focus. Pressing keys causes all kinds of tools (fill, line, size etc..) to be selected. Grrr... I have to click on the actionscript window to get the focus back.

    Surely this is a bug?

    You read my mind ...

    It even does that for me when I test my movie Ctrl-Enter and back, while I'm editing my ActionScript. It really is a bugbear .. especially as it was'nt like that in Flash MX.

    They really need to 'fix' this in their next patch/update.
