Try turning off focusEnabled and tabEnabled in all other components.

What's the best way to do this? Is there a straightforward global way to handle this or will I need to add focus handlers to all the components that *aren't* supposed to get focus and have them redirect it? Or, could would it work to put a focus handler on the component and simply have it grab the focus back whenever its lost? Is that going to cause any loops or weird behavior in the Flex components? Thanks! Troy.
