ok...I admit defeat...my first AS3 game for a client launches in under 24 hours and I will be damned if I can work out how to set the focus on a input Text field.

of course in AS 2.0 you would just use

Selection.setFocus(text_field)

Anyone know how to do the same in As 3.0?

ps. after all the things that I have worked out to do in AS3.0 I can't believe that I'm stuck on how to implement setting focus.
