The Underscore Archives

[_],

I've got a bunch of SimpleButtons which I'm moving about, alpha-fading  
in and out, and so forth.

I've set stage.stageFocusRect=false, to get rid of the yellow focus  
rectangle (which clashes unacceptably), but this means the keyboard  
events don't activate the focussed buttons.  If stageFocusRect is  
true, it works fine.

Anyway, failing any insight or tricks on that, I can pick up the  
keyboard events elsewhere through bubbling.  In AS2, I understand you  
can then just call stage.focus.onPress().  In AS3, is there an  
equivalent way of faking a press, rather than the messy (and garbage- 
collection-fouling) approach of storing the event handlers separately?

Tearing hair out at this point...

TIA,
