If the caret is not showing in your text field after using stage.focus = textField;

Simply try publishing your movie instead of testing it with the CTRL+Enter command.

It didn't work for me until I published it.

Is "textField" the child of a library movieclip? If so, you have to access it through the parent.

stage.focus = someMovieStageName.textField
