ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Focus Back For Keyboard Input?
Sep 22, 2009found only one thing that seemed to be on the lines of what I am having issues with:
stage.focus = this;
My problem: The the flash app I am working on, some of the controls are done with the keyboard. At certain points, you need to click on an on screen button to continue. When I do this, it seems the focus is lost from where it was, and I can no long use keyboard actions (such as the spacebar KeyboardEvent that works prior to clicking the mouse)
I will admit that I am a newcomer to Flash (only played with it for about a month now), and I don't know much about the focus stuff. Basically, I want to know how to set the focus back to where it was after the buttons are clicked.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Taking Off Focus Or Disabling Keyboard Input For Combo Box?
May 25, 2007So i have a combo box that a user can go a select different UI's with. In another pane i have a map that the user can press the arrow keys the move up, down, left right etc.
Only problem is that once i have selected a map from the combo box, the combo box stays in focus so that when i press an arrow key, the map moves but it also scrolls through my combo box.
Any way i can disable keyboard input to the combo box or remove the focus on the combo box?
I've tried creating a dummy button on the stage called "dummy" and when the change event happens on the combo box i switch the focus using
Selection.setFocus("dummy");
but then i get a recursion error and it stops my scripts.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Textfield Won't Accept Certain Input
Jun 21, 2010I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The DataGrid Having The Keyboard Focus?
Mar 18, 2010I'm writing an application using a DataGrid DG1 in a MovieClip MC1. The User can click on DG1 and edit it, ok, no problem. But when the User begins to edit the content of a specific cell of DG1, I want to open a dedicated wizard in front of it. In the first step of that wizard popup (MovieClip MC2, child of MC1), there is another DataGrid (DG2) and I would like the User to be able to directly use the up and down keyboard arrows to browse the DG2 content without having to click it first.
But the keyboard events are then captured by DG1. I tried to use a stage.focus, setFocus, I triggered MouseEvents on DG2 but nothing to do, I have to physically click on it before the keyboard events are sent to it. So, my question is: how to, within MC1, tell Flash the keyboard events will be triggered on DG2 ? Can we ask DG1 to loose the (keyboard) focus ?

View 6 RepliesFlex :: Debugging Focus And Keyboard Event Propagation In AS3
Dec 18, 2009I have a custom TitleWindow component that is registered to listen for keyboard events from the user (so that esc closes the window, enter saves, etc.). However, in my testing I've found a couple cases where my keyboard event handlers don't fire. My best guess as to why this is happening is that there is some child component somewhere that has stolen focus and is stopping the keyboard events from propagating.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of components in my TitleWindow, I have no good way of knowing who has stolen the focus. My question then is, are there any good tips / techniques / tools for debugging focus issues and event propagation in Flex? Basically, I need something that will tell me who has the focus at any given time and who's handling an event at any given time... is that possible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: When The Method Gets Called In Internet Explorer, It Sets The Keyboard Focus To The URL Bar?
Sep 21, 2009Anyway, I have a game with keyboard input and mouse input, and after certain mouse inputs I want to set the focus back to the stage in order to continue listening for keyboard events. I have a simple method in the document class:
Code:
private function setCommandLineFocus( e:MouseEvent=null ):void
{
if( theCommandLine )[code]....
Where "theCommandLine" is a movieclip which gets attached, and is where I send the keyboard events to.
The problem I'm having is this: When the method gets called in internet explorer, it sets the keyboard focus to the URL bar, so you type stuff in, and then hit enter and it reloads the damn page.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Focus On Input Text?
Feb 12, 2011I'm trying to give focus to a text input with instance name "input" so that when I run the movie, there is a blinking cursor where the input is so that the user has some visual cues. I also changed the background and made it only accept numbers. This code is in an init() method, which is run from the constructor
input.backgroundColor = 0xFFCCCCCC;
input.restrict = "0-9";
stage.focus = input;
The first two lines of this work fine, the background is grey and it only accepts numbers as expected, however the third line doesn't work. The input text is not given the focus. Once I click on the input text then I can see the blinking cursor. I also tried this.stage.focus=input;, but that didn't work either.

May 9, 2011I got a text-InputField:

When my textfield has focus and I click on one of the control MC buttons it loses focus. I know I can reset focus with stage.focus but wanted to know if there is a better way. Like disable the control MC from taking the focus off the input text. I thought this was not the behavior. I thought that only another input type control can steal focus until now.
