Apparently when a swf is loaded, the application does not have immediate focus. Even if the code
stage.focus = myInputBox
is in the constructor, the user must tab or click the inputbox to obtain focus.

it works everywhere but this one textbox
i normally use stage.focus.(instance name)
but that doesnt work when loading a part in

View 6 RepliesI have a series of editable text areas in which I want to be able to add a variable on the click of a button.
If I click the button the textarea loses focus and so I cant code which textarea I need to add the variable into. Can anyone think of a way of keeping focus on the textbox, inserting the variable and then allowing the user to carry on typing.
I've been playing around with the setFocus function trying to get this to work with no success.
Here is a snippet of my code:
public function addFirstName(myText:string):void{
myText = myText + "<<firstname>>";
}
<mx:TextArea id="txt1" change="text1=txt1.text" text="{text3}" editable="true"/>

I'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.
I have a swf that is having problems only when I load a movie.[code]I noticed that the movie does not run right only when the cursor is still bliking in the input text field. I will input text in the input field but the cursor continues to remain in the field even after clicking the "someButton".[code]but is still has a problem. The problem being that when I click another button in the program, sometimes it will not work and othertimes it will.When I remove the input field and hard code the import the loadmovie it works fine.
View 6 RepliesI got a text-InputField:
var textfield:TextField = new TextField();
textfield.text = "";
textfield.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
addChild(textfield);
because this textfield don't reside in the main-class, I don't have a stage-reference for doing:
textfield.stage.focus = textfield;
or
stage.focus = textfield
How can I force the textfield to display the blinking line at position zero?
I have two text input boxes p1 and p2. I want to do a conditional test to see if p1 has the focus. If it does not, then p2 must have the focus. Here is some code I am trying to get to work.

p1Score();
} p2Score();

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.
i have one input text Field in Login screen in which i want to set default focus. for this purpose i use stage.focus = textFiled, its working fine when i run swf into Flash IDE but when swf integrate with java (in Jar file format) on other word when i run java environment, default focus is not set on input textFiled. when i click on textField its working fine.

Maybe someone knows what's up. I've got an input textbox and a dynamic textbox, and I've got a key listener so that whenever you type in the input appears in the output. I've embedded numbers and cap letters in both. This works locally, but when I put it live, you can't type anything into it?If you paste any content into it, it works fine, but, typing it doesn't. The weird part is it works when previewed in flash but not on a server.If you check the 'Custom plate' at the bottom of the 2nd column of options, it sets focus to the input box, and there the trouble happens.I'm thinking it's something with the key listener? I'll try to put the code here for your scrutiny. Weird that it's putting in a space in 'function' of the onrelease, that's not how it is, but also I don't think that part is the problem, but just something with the forum here.[code]
View 3 RepliesOn my stage I have an MC with a textfield of type input. I have another MC on stage with the control for the input like bold, and italic. 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.

Also is there like a autoscroll like when a Dynamic text Field gets too full it just shifts down?
I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!
Code:
import fl.managers.FocusManager
var fm:FocusManager=new FocusManager(this)
fm.deactivate()

Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason every time I insert a multiline input textbox, when I play my video and click on the texbox it puts the cursor on the second line of the texbox. I'm not sure why a second line was even available as the textbox should be empty. Anybody else experience this issue?

I've seem formulas around, just not sure how to get the numbers to actually show up in the dynamic total box.
