Flex :: Set Focus And Selection On A TextField?
Jan 16, 2011I am trying to programmatically pass focus to a newly created TextField, but for some reason setSelection and setFocus do not work. For example, see my test code below:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" creationComplete="_init()">
<mx:Button click="{tf.setSelection(1,2)}" />[code]....
The only setSelection that does anything is the 0,3 one on MOUSE_DOWN. I assume this all has something to do with the text field receiving focus with the mouse click,
Flex - Setting Focus On A List ItemRenderer With TextArea Inside?
Oct 29, 2010I've wrote a custom itemrenderer for a List component (Flex 3.5) which is a VBox with a Label and a TextArea wrapped inside. All works fine so far but I want the TextArea in the first itemrenderer to receive focus so that it instantly becomes editable when tabbing onto the List. Is that possible and if how would I achieve this?
I've already added an event listener that selects the item at index 0 but the textArea in it should also be focussed at that moment _list.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onListFocusIn);
private function onListFocusIn(e:FocusEvent):void
{
_list.selectedIndex = 0;
}

View 2 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Maintaining Textarea UIscrollbar Position On Loss Of Focus In Flash Embed
Oct 18, 2010I'm using Flash CS4. Everything functions as it should when CS4 previews the swf after compiling it. However, after embedding the flash item in a webpage, if the textArea loses focus within the flash piece, the textarea's built-in UIscrollbar resets to the very top. Here's the kicker: if I add a FOCUS_OUT event listener to the textArea to store the current scrollbar value, I find that the scrollbar value has been reset to minimum even before the FOCUS_OUT event is triggered! WTF? I think this is occurring because the textArea's htmlText propery is dynamically populated. Adobe AIR has advanced methods for handing HTML, but not simple AS3, oh no. How obnoxious. What can be done?

Flex 3 - No Blue Focus Ring On Button?
Nov 3, 2010My button doesn't have a blue focus ring around it, even though it has focus. I've got a component with a RadioButtonGroup and a Button. After a selection is made in the RadioButtonGroup, focus is switched to the Button. I added click="focusManager.setFocus(myCloseButton)" on the VBox.
After, a radioButton is selected, if the user clicks the spacebar the Button fires. So, as I understand it focus was switched to the button. But, the button doesn't get a blue focus ring surrounding it. How do I get the focus ring? I have visible="false". I turn them to visible, after some effects are finished. So, don't let that throw you.)

Flex :: Have A Button Not Fire On Space Key If It Has Focus?
Jun 11, 2009The behavior I'm trying to prevent is after a user clicks on a button, the button retains focus, and then if the user hits the space key, the button fires again. So I thought it could be solved either by setting the focus elsewhere, or by having the button ignore the space key. I've tried adding the following keyDown event listener on the button, but it didn't work.
private function btn_keyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
// try to ignore spaces, i.e. don't click on SPACE when it has focus
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE) {
}
}
I tried changing focus by doing the following, at the end of the function that's called when the button is clicked:
stage.focus = parent;

Flex :: Keeping Focus On A Textbox When Clicking A Button
May 31, 2011I 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"/>

Actionscript 3 :: Wmode="opaque" Causes Selection On Textarea To Behave Wierdly After Mouse Is Pressed And Left Stage
Oct 11, 2010I m using textarea in flash 10 cs5 as3. The problem is when i try to select a text and go out of stage and leave the mouse then again move mouse on text then selection of text will move with the mouse.
Here is what causes that:

* then go out of the swf
* leave the mouse
* now move mouse on textarea
the selection of text will move with the mouse. How to stop this behavior? I tried to implement mouseleave on stage but the problem is i m not able to detect mouseleave event when mouse is pressed and it leaves the stage.
This is because of wmode="opaque" parameter. I found out that it doesn't do this when wmode="window". Is there a solution for this?

How do you get the selected row (NOT selectedItem) of a DataGrid and how can you:
Change the ItemRenderEditor or ItemRenderer on the fly of just that row.
Or enable the edition of that specific row without clicking it.

View 6 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Buttons To Stay Orange Once Clicked And Only Roll Out Back To Grey When The User Has Clicked On Another Button In The List
Feb 7, 2007I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

View 2 RepliesButton Selection Via Keyboard Input?
Mar 28, 2009I am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.
