LC 7.0.3 New stack, two new fields with their lockText set to true. In both fields their scripts:
on focusIn set the backgroundColor of me to green end focusIn on focusOut set the backgroundColor of me to red end focusOut Pressing the Tab key moves the focus from one to the other and the backgroundColor changes from green to red and vice versa. If I change the lockText to false in both fields, then change the script to: on openField set the backgroundColor of me to green end openField on ExitField set the backgroundColor of me to red end ExitField Again the backgroundColor changes from red to green and vice versa when I tab. So you are right. There is no difference. PS If you need the same to happen when data in the field is changed then you'd also have to include an CloseField handler.
