I've almost finished a website I've been doing, but I still have 2 issues/bugs. - The first is the one that made me start this thread. I've isolated the problem and uploaded the .fla file (MX2004 - 7.2), with a simplified example. You can download it at [URL] (don't worry, this link has nothing to do with the website, LoL)
Description: The combobox instance in the preloader frame is there to avoid the rectborder problem. If you leave things that way, on Form1 you'll notice that you can't kill focus by clicking outside the input text boxes, because it immediately sets focus back (you can only change focus from one input box to another). Let's call this issue bug A.
If you delete the combobox instance located in the first frame (preloader), you will not have the kill focus issue anymore (after setting focus on one of the text boxes, you can now click outside and it will kill focus and stay that way). However, if you go towards the second form (the one with the combobox), you'll now notice a bug that was previously non-existent: the combobox border (I've set its colour to red to highlight the problem better) will remain there after you've selected one of the combobox's available options. Let's call it bug B. I know that second bug is known, and that was why I used that solution with the instance placement on the preloader frame.

i have created a dialpad kind of application which has a bach button at top which takes u to previous screen, a display text box and buttons. all of them are movieclips.
Now the issue is when i press down button, focus is expected to go from prevBtn->display->oneBtn, but the focus goes like prevBtn->oneBtn. Other thing is that if i press up key after going on the screen, the focus goes like callBtn->zeroBtn->eightBtn->fiveBtn->twoBtn->display->prevBtn.
one more observation is if i take the display down after all the buttons, the behavior is normal and focus goes to display.

I have two flash movies, on different tabs of a user's browser.They use LocalConnection to talk to each other, but the one on the tab which isn't active doesn't do anything until you switch back to that tab, can you change this? Maybe in the embed tag?

stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.

I want to be notified when a FLex Panel gets or loses focus. I've overridden thefocusInHandler() and the focusOutHandler(), but they don't get called when I click on the panel.The panels style changes indicating that it has the focus, but the handler doesn't get called.

My SWF contains a combobox that functions as expected when it is viewed alone. But when this same SWF is loaded into a 'container' SWF the combobox no longer works.
The container SWF uses AS3, and the SWF that is being loaded into it uses AS2. Could this be the problem?

I have a combobox in a view that receives information about application state changes, and then is supposed to show or hide it's children based on the whole application state. It receives state change messages, it traces the correct values, it does what it's supposed to do, however, it just doesn't seem to work. Essentially, all it needs to do is hide a combobox during one state, and show it again during another state.[code]

My code snipet looks like :
[Code]...
Do you have idea about the reason for that error and how to prevent it? N.B. The code that triggers this error is as a result for click handler. If before encountering this error change the selection on my yearsCb, everithing is fine. EDIT: I forget to specify that this error is thrown when it is a selected item in my ComboBox. It seem that after container that holds the ComboBox loses the focus, it doesn't recognize it's ComboBox child as having a selected item anyway (this problem arise only after the modal popup close.).

I have a combo box on the stage in a main SWF. when the user selects an item in the dropdown list a child SWF is launched into level0 using loadMovieNum and data is left behind using _global variables for the child SWF to use. this works fine and well. but inside the new child SWF that is launched is a button that takes you back to the previous main SWF with the ComboBox. its done using the same method loadMovieNum into level0. and the main SWF loads but you cannot open the ComboBox. it will not drop down. the halo green color on hover over is there and it gets darker when you click, but the list doesn't drop down. here is some code that I think may be significant to the situation...

I have a tile based game à la Scrabble where tiles are placed on the board.. during the game the tiles must all be touching, and there should be no groups of tiles anywhere else on the board..I can find single loose tiles and check for surrounding tiles easily enough but how would I go about checking if every tile is touching on a horizontal or vertical axis and if there are loose groups of tiles on the board ??

I have a web page which has a SWF file embeded. I have an issue with the focus.
Steps to reproduce:
1)Click on a HTML Text Field which is inside a Iframe
2)Click on a Flex Field.
3)Begin to type some text.
Expected Result is the entered text should go in the Flex TextInput field but the actual Result is it goes into HTML text field.
This is the bug which was filed but closed without any resolution. The workaround suggested there doesnt work. ( bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12377 )
This is happening only in IE 6.0 and IE 7.0. Below is the live example. [URL]

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.

I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

I have a game where you can move a character around on a screen, very simple. My problem is, I have to click on the swf object in my browser before it starts to recognize my input keys. If there a way to set set to my swf object either in html or the swf itself /w as3?
This is the browser code I keep finding on googing:
Actionscript Code:
<body onLoad="window.document.mymovie.focus();"> <object width="760" height="820"> <param name="mymovie" value="test.swf"> <embed src="test.swf" width="760" height="820"> </embed> </object> </body>

When I publish a Flash CS4 Pro / AS3 game to an SWF file and uploads it to my webserver, I have to click the screen before I can use keyboard events.
Is there a way to force a focus onto the "swf stage" when loading the file in the browser, or do I have to publish an html file that controls the swf file to do that?[url]...

Upon entering the screen, I set the focus to the first field, a combobox, and after making a selection I want to tab to the next field, a textfield, but I can't tab out of the combobox. I can use the mouse to click on the textfield and give it focus but I'd rather tab. I also tried to programatically give focus to the textfield (from the function associated with the combox's listener) without success.

I'm not that great with Actionscript 3.0, so naturally I have an hurdle to leap.
I using the 3D Carousel from flashcomponents.net and I need to figure out how to get the images blur when they are not the front focal on the Carousel. I tried an onRelease (which works to un-blur it), but I didn't know what else to pair it with so when I click on another object it blurs and goes to the back. I don't want it to blur when I roll off, only when another object is clicked.
