## Screen focus gain/loss
Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a `Focus Url` (proxy) or `Focus Id` (collectionfactory) was provided when the screen was created. The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a focus change listener has been set using `monarch.on_focus_change(screen_id, fn)`
DEPRECATED: ~~Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a `Focus Url` (proxy) or `Focus Id` (collectionfactory) was provided when the screen was created.~~
The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
```lua
local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
if message_id == monarch.FOCUS.GAINED then
print("Focus gained, previous screen: ", message.id)
elseif message_id == monarch.FOCUS.LOST then
print("Focus lost, next screen: ", message.id)
end
function init(self)
monarch.on_focus_changed("foobar", function(message_id, message, sender)
if message_id == monarch.FOCUS.GAINED then
print("Focus gained, previous screen: ", message.id)
elseif message_id == monarch.FOCUS.LOST then
print("Focus lost, next screen: ", message.id)
end
end)
end
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
monarch.on_message(message_id, message, sender)
end
```
## Callbacks
Both the `monarch.show()` and `monarch.back()` functions take an optional callback function that will be invoked when the `transition_show_in` (or the `transition_back_in` in the case of a `monarch.back()` call) transition is completed. The transition is considered completed when a `transition_done` message has been received (see section on [transitions](#transitions) above).

## Monarch FAQ
**Q**: Why am I getting `ERROR GAMEOBJECT: The collection 'default' could not be created since there is already a socket with the same name`?
**A**: Each collection that you use must be given a unique id. In this case you have more than one collection loaded with the id `default`. Select the root of each collection in the Outline panel and change the Name field in the properties panel from the default value of `default`.
