Alert Component with OnKillFocus Causes Infinite Loop

Question

I have this script...
txtPPM.onKillFocus = function(txtPPM)
import mx.controls.Alert;
Alert.show("blah blah");
When my focus shifts away from the txtPPM textfield I get an
infinite loop error. I haven't been able to find a successful
method to fix this. Any suggetions?

Probably related to the FocusManager (V2 components). There
may be other
ways to work around it, but here's something quick:
import mx.controls.Alert;
var alertClickHandler:Function = function (evt_obj:Object) {
switch (evt_obj.detail) {
case Alert.OK :
trace("You clicked: " + Alert.okLabel);
break;
case Alert.CANCEL :
trace("You clicked: " + Alert.cancelLabel);
break;
txtPPM.onKillFocus = txtFocusHandler;
function showAlert(){
Alert.show("blah blah blah", "", undefined, this,
alertClickHandler);
function txtFocusHandler(newFocus:Object){
this.onKillFocus = undefined;
showAlert();
txtPPM.onKillFocus = txtFocusHandler;
