arggh... what handler to use on an unlocked text field?

[Josh Mellicker]

I understand that mouseUp and mouseDown messages don't work on an  
unlocked text field...

so how do you trigger a script when the user clicks in the field?

I could make them double-click, or right click... but I can't get any  
handler to go... : (


I'm trying to avoid stuff that generates tons of real-time messages  
(like mouseEnter (although that works))
