Well, i know, it sounds easy, but the only thing I want to do is make a textfield that's always focused. When I click next to the textfield on a picture or on the root the focus changes and that's not what I need, the textfield has to stay focused.

Ok let me explain what I want to do: when my movie loads I want "textfield" to be focused, so I use Selection.setFocus(textfield); Fine! But on a frame before this I have a button to enter my site! Now as soon as you click this button it changes the focus so that when I enter the frame with the textfield it is no longer focused! Make sense? Well on this frame once the textfield is focused you can enter text right away! and then I have this listener which listens to an event within the textfield! Ok now I'm even more confused then when I started explaining this! Anyway I want the textfield to be focused when you enter this frame and if the user focuses something else, well then they will have to focus the textfield themselves. Basicly I just want the the textfield to be focused on load, but the problem is my button at the start! What?
I have 3 text field and i want to change its background when it is focused and change it back to white when the focus is lost.
I tried keeping background = true and border = true, but still i can't change the background.
Also when i keep tf.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00 outside the onSetFocus method then the textfield contains that background.
How to make my Text Field Focused , from first load?

View 3 RepliesI was making an application with AIR+Flex.
One Feature is like: when 'alt' key is down, the mouse cursor changes to B, when 'alt' key is up, the mouse cursor restores to A.
But the problem is that everytime a release 'alt' key, the mouse cursor will change back to system default (Arrow shape), and seems like the focus is on somewhere outside the stage.
That reminds me that, when 'alt' was pressed in a ordinary window, the menuBar will be focused.
How can I stop this default behavior？
p.s. I have tried the following ways and doesn't work:
1) listen to stage's KEY_DOWN/KEY_UP event, and add 'event.stopImmediatePropagation()' in the event handlers
2) listen to stage's KEY_DOWN/KEY_UP event, and add 'event.preventDefault()' in the event handlers
3) listen to stage's KEY_DOWN/KEY_UP event, and add 'this.setFocus()' in the event handlers. And 'callLater(this.setFocus)' doesn't work too.

"With the recent new 10.3 player this should be much easier, since there are new events for this specific situation."
So, using a simple flash object, and maybe js callbacks this might be the solution, but what are theese events?
I'm looking for a code to stop all flash animations on a web page when this page/tab is not focused or active. Because this problem causes performance loss at any computer.
View 1 RepliesI could get some direction on something that I have been wondering about for a while. There have several flash video players that I have seen that only start to load/play the video when the object is visible on the screen.
For instance, if I click a link to an html page with an auto playing flv on it, and then minimize the window. The video will only start to play/load once I maximize the window again.
The other instance I have seen it is with the position of the page. So if an flv is placed onto a long html page, all the way at the bottom, it will only begin to load/play once I have scrolled to make it visible.
I have done some searching but have not been able to determine what this would even be refered to as. Is it controlled by Javascript or Actionscript, or is this just a the way flash player functions?
I have two separate video widgets running on the same test page [URL] and when an input textfield from one of the widgets receives focus or is typed into, the other widget goes black.
View 1 Repliesit's possible to change the default key (space bar key) to execute the action of the focused element in the stage?If you ever worked with the Focus Manager you've possibly seen that when you press the space bar the focused item is "executed".Can you disable that "executor" or can you change the space key with the enter key?
View 2 RepliesI've got an FLA which was originally created using CS3, and i've got a dynamic textfield in it that uses font "Gadget".If i open the FLA in CS3, it gives me option to toggle the BOLD option, and when i compile it, the font appears to be bold in the compiled swf.
When I open the same FLA in CS5 (version 11.0.2.489),
---> I don't get any option to make the font bold on the same textfield,
---> and when i compile it, the text remain the same, it does not show as bold.
I have situation like two textfield, one for input and the other for output. Then there comes the problem that for single line input, I type a long sentance but when it shows in the output textfield(because the length is limited there), it only can show part of the text.
Is it possible to define the length of the output textfield change according to the input textfield? Or is it possible that when the input textfield has more text than the output textfield required, then the text shown in the output textfield automatically change into smaller font size?
just because i got no response i am putting this up once again.When i use htmlText in textFields, it does not render smooth. How can this be fixed ?Tried embedding fonts... but nothing seems to work.

Im trying to make a dynamic textfield count from 0 - $number (lets say 50) in 3 seconds. So that when I hit 3 seconds then I hit 50.So what im basically doing is calling a function with setInterval and im calling the function every 60 milisecond (3x1000 / 50).
The textfield is following a movieclip (percentagebar) which im tweening from one position to another in the same amount of time - 3 seconds.What im seeing is that the movieclip reaches its end position before the count on the textfield is done.Is this because the mc tween relies on the FPS and will therefore end quicker?And what can I do to make my textfield count end the same time as the tween?
ActionScript Code:
//Defining end number
var pComplete:Number = 50;
//Defining count var
var pCompleteTimer:Number = 0;
