DAMN actions panel focus on mac

[Pier25]

I hate this...

You write some code on the actions panel. You test your movie. You close your movie with command + W. The cursor still remains on the actions panel blinking but the focus is on the stage....

So if you press any key like "del" you're deleting a movieclip instead of code.

Instead you have to grab your mouse again, click on the actions panel, and go back to your keyboard. ARGH

Just wanted to share it with you :)

Yeah, sucks big time, I run into this problem constantly.
Spaces is another issue with CS3.
I suspect it's probably a Leopard issue, since other app focusing weirdness exists with that system.

This isn't a Mac issue... it's a Flash issue that has been around for years.

The solution is simple: textmate

I agree, that focus panel issue is damn annoying.

Textmate, or Flex are much better, but at times you gotta use Flash..sigh..
