Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. open FocusManager
2. go to the deactivateHandler method. here's the code:

/**

• @private Useful for debugging
  */
  private function deactivateHandler(event:Event):void { // var target:InteractiveObject = InteractiveObject(event.target); // trace("FM " + this + " deactivateHandler ", _lastFocus); }

Actual Results:
This method gets called. Since it is not protected, it cannot be overridden in eventual subclasses.
So it's completely useless. Please remove it.

Expected Results:

Workaround (if any):
None.
