Data Entry Object - Auto Focus? Jul 19, 2016 By Kevin Thorn How do we get a Data Entry Object to automatically focus when the timeline starts? Typically, the pre text, "type your entry here" in Text Entry or the value "0" in a Numeric Entry appears. Can't figure out how to get the Data Entry Object to auto focus. Any ideas or thoughts appreciated!

Kevin Thorn Author over 6 years ago07/19/16 at 6:15 pm (UTC) Thanks Michael. That works. However, with other graphics underneath the Data Entry object can't go to the bottom. It does work though that way. Thanks for the quick response!
