RE: lingo-l lingo-lHow Can I tell?
if ilk(sprite(spriteNum).member) = #field then I think that ilk(sprite(spriteNum).member) will always evaluate to #member. What Irv was perhaps looking for was sprite(spriteNum).member.type which will return #field when attached to a field sprite. I also think that what was being asked will be served by monitoring for the keyBoardFocusSprite on prepare/enter/exitFrame. eg: on exitFrame me if the keyBoardFocusSprite = me.spriteNum then -- the field this behavior is attached to currently has focus end if end HTH, -Sean.
