422 Chapter 6: Components Dictionary
Tip: In a class file that inherits from UIComponent, it is not good practice to refer to
_root.focusManager. Every UIComponent instance inherits a getFocusManager() method, which
returns a reference to the FocusManager instance responsible for controlling that component’s focus
scheme.
