keyboardFocusSprite

Syntax

set the keyboardFocusSprite = textSpriteNum 

Description

System property; lets the user set the focus for keyboard input (without controlling the cursor's insertion point) on a particular text sprite currently on the screen. This is the equivalent to using the Tab key when the AutoTab property of the member is selected.

Setting keyboardFocusSprite to -1 returns keyboard focus control to the score, and setting it to 0 disables keyboard entry into any editable sprite.
