hmmm...
actually I use the member(myMember).editable and sprite(mySprite).editable a
lot & don't see a lot of problems with it. you could create a list of
editable sprites on the fly when you enter a frame & then broadcast a
message to only those sprites desired to make them editable or not as
needed. I have a field tab behavior that uses this technique. there are
probably several in the Direct-L archives that do this. of course you could
also use the keyboardFocusSprite too. I've just settled for what I know
