Hi,
I would guess that the events are firing, but that there is a conflict in the script, which is preventing the desired effect.
Have you opened the JavaScript Console (Control+J) when the form is opened in Acrobat? This may show up errors when you are interacting with the TextFields.
There is an example form here that explores when events fire: http://assure.ly/gW3RNr.
Hope that helps,
Niall
