Anyone had this problem?

Question

I was using some code that worked perfectly in Flash MX 2k4
but is causing recursion errors in Flash 8.
Attach an eventListener to a TextInput or TextArea calling a
'focusOut' event. In the focusOut method, call an Alert component.
Tabbing from the first input to the next causes a recursion
error while testing the movie. From a webpage, it just quits
working.
Any ideas?
ps - maliboo from www.flashzone.pl gave me a tip that works
but it's a lame fix for something that was working in Flash MX 2k4
: before calling the Alert, remove the listener and after calling
the Alert, reattach it. It works but it's seriously a lame fix.
Here's the code:

Hi.
I've had a similar problem. Its a problem with the Alert
component but i can't find out what the problem is.
I have a class which works without an Alert box but as soon
as i add an Alert it throws the error 'a script is causing flash to
run slowly etc.'
The code i'm using. The alert is called in one method and the
handler is another private method.
Alert.show("Start Game", "Message Window", Alert.NO |
Alert.YES, this, alertHandler);
function alertHandler(){
etc.
This code works when it used independantly in a seperate fla
(without any other code or assets);
There is mention of a problem on LiveDocs with regards to a
custom class breaking the Alert component but no real solution is
given.
Please can someone help?
