Thanks for the extra info Travis,

I actually think the best solution would be

//don’t need to call the focusrect all the time
myButton._focusrect = false;
myButton.onRelease=function(){
//put the selection at the start of the function, in case the function is supposed to set focus elsewhere
Selection.setFocus(this);
do somethingâ€¦.

};

I agree with Doug that the initial solution didn’t always work. BTW, to get rid of the yellow focus borders introduced by setFocus, use _focusrect = false

myButton.onRelease=function(){
do something….
this._focusrect = false;
Selection.setFocus(this);
};

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been searching for a solution to this for a while now and was beginning to think it was somehow just me. :)

This solution doesn’t always work. Here’s a better one:

myButton.onRelease=function(){ do something.... Selection.setFocus(this); };

Great solution! This “bug” had me puzzled for hours.. (I was certain it was probably a glitch in my script or some sort of timing problem).
After a bit of googling i found i’m not the only one.

So far I found that this problem only occurs when you use the built in combobox.

Okay, now I see it. I must have been moving my mouse a bit.

Flash Player version – right click swf “About Flash Player {version}”
That is strange it works for you. I’ve tried on MIE, Firefox, Players 8 and 9 – and I still only get the initial click registering on the gray rect after choosing something in the combo. If you click the green rect after combo, then multiple gray rect clicks DO work.

Seems to work for me, Doug. Firefox 1.5.0.4. Not sure what version of Flash player. (How do I check this?) WinXP.
