I have an activate and deactivate event handlers for the main Application that trigger when the user clicks inside or outside the browser or flex application browser window. Due to some subtle changes I made to my app (I suspect unforeseen by Adobe) activate and deactivate events are no longer triggered. Is there a hasFocus type function I can call instead in enterFrame for example

Is it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.

Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

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 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.

I try to figure out how does focus mechanism work in Flex. Here comes the example of what I mean:Let's assume that we have a simple web application, which contains custom component that extends Canvas and implements mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent. This component overrides focusInHandler and focusOutHandler methods and shows some feedback on how they are called (thinner or thicker border). This custom component also contains some Text.[code]
If you click once on a violet canvas it receives focus (focusInHandler is called), then if you click again the focus is lost (focusOutHandler called) - why?Of you click on a Text the Canvas receives focus (focusInHandler called) and keeps it when being clicked wherever on the area (focusOutHandler nevet called) - why?

Now that setFocus() is gone, how do you tell the player to set focus to a specific input text field. I've searched thru the reference docs and haven't had any luck.

View 9 Repliesi am using a simple flash email form with three input areas: name, email and message. What i have is an empty movie clip with an onClipEvent (mouseUp) action applied to it which removes the text within each text field when it is selected. This is so i can have "name", "email" and "message" written in the input text boxes, which dissapears when the user selects it. The problem is that if someone puts their text in then reselects it after doing something else, then their text also dissapears... i suppose im looking for a way to remove the focus just once, or another way of removing the focus. here is the actionscript applied to the empty movieclip:
