Set focusable property via script? - Answer

[Marian Petrides]

After sending this query, I noticed that if I dwell for any length of 
time with my mouse over button that sets the desired property in the 
Object Inspector, a toolTip came up with the name of the property.  
Thus I found that traversalOn makes an object focusable if it is true 
and lockText makes an object's text locked if true.

So simply putting a temporary button on card 1 of the stack, containing 
the following script  allowed me to lock text in all fields and make 
the fields not focusable:


on mouseUp
   repeat with j = 1 to the number of cards
     go card j
     repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields
       set the traversalOn of field x to false
--make field not focusable
     end repeat
   end repeat
end mouseUp

repeat with j = 1 to the number of cards
     go card j
     repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields
       set the traversalOn of field x to false
     end repeat
end repeat
