Flash :: TextInput Component Not Giving Up Focus?
Jan 31, 2010I have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Keep Focus And Cursor In Flex's TextInput After Hitting Enter?
Jul 23, 2009I am a Flex newbie and I am testing a little application that simulates a cart. (It is based on a nice sample by Farata Systems' Yakov Fain).Note: I am using the beta of Flash Builder 4 to code the application.Here you have a link to the screenshot:Screenshot(Sorry I can't insert the image of the screenshot right here since stackoverflow doesn't allow new users to use image tags.)The application is very simple. You type a product in the TextInput control and then click on the "Add to cart" button to add it to the "cart" which is represented by the TextArea at the bottom.
That works ok.The problem is that I also want the user to be able to keep adding items to the cart without having to click on the "Add to cart" button. So, I added code to handle the enter event of the Textput by calling the same handler function triggered by the "Add to cart" Click event.If you type some content and then click the "Add to cart" button, the TextInput control receives the focus and the cursor, so you can type again.
However, if you hit enter, instead of clicking the button, the TextInput control keeps focused and you can see the cursor beam, but you can not enter text until you click elsewhere and come back to the control.Below you can see the relevant part of the code, with the definition of the component that groups the three controls at the top (Label, TextInput, Button).

ActionScript 2.0 :: TextInput Not Getting Focus?
Jul 23, 2010I have a movie that has been working fine until FP10 (3 years plus ). The issue is that a textinput field only gets focus on the first load of the movie. Subsequent loads none of the text input fields get focus, even when stepping through the movie focus is not automatically set. Unless the cache is cleared and the movie reloaded from our website.
I can reproduce it over and over, by clearing the cache movie works, all loads afterwards textinput boxes do not get focus.
Same results in IE 8, FF3 and Chrome. All using the latest flash player 10,1,53,64
It suggests a timingcode loadexecute issue ... introduced in FP10, but how to get around it ?
I am just embarking on a rewrite in Flex but that is some way off yet and something as simple as setting focus to the next field to be filled in affects the user experience.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Trigger Mouseevent When The Focus Is On TextInput?
Jul 29, 2010In flex, I am using the following:
mx:TextInput mouseOver="tester(event)"
It works fine. My pointer goes over the textInput and it calls the function. But when I click inside the textInput to enter some text( focus is on the textInput) and then move the mouse (not taking mouse pointer outside of the boundary of textinput), the mouseover event is not trigerred.
If I use click event, then even if I am entering text ( or the focus is on the textinput) and then click, it will call the function.
How can I call the tester function on mouseover when the focus is on textInput?

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Setting Focus On A Popup's TextInput Control?
Jul 27, 2010I'm trying to have a popup window with an immediately editable TextInput. This means that the user should be able to type inside the TextInput once the popup is displayed.
The problem is that I can't focus on the textInput. What happens is that when pressing a key for the first time, no text is inserted, only after a second key is pressed does the component gain focus and the user is able to type. For instance, typing "test" once the popup opened results in "est" being displayed...
For some reason the component only gains focus when the user explicitly clicks on it or types something. Programmaticaly setting the focus does not work.
Code:

View 1 RepliesIDE :: TextInput Components On Masked Layers
Apr 3, 2009I have some textinput components on a masked layer.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: Custom TextInput Component Loses Focus But Still Contains Cursor?
Oct 29, 2011I have a custom TextInput that listens for the FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN and FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT events:
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusInHandler);
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOutHandler);
My onFocusInHandler function basically removes a "promptview" that tells the user to type in a value, with the onFocusOutHandler doing the opposite.
For example, if the TextInput text was backspaced to a blank value and the user clicks out of the TextInput box, it would show a "Please enter a value" light-gray prompt in the TextInput.
This works fine until the user clicks our custom "Clear" button. The clear button sets the text to "", and I can tell the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT is received because the prompt text is set to visible (its not being set anywhere else). The problem is, the cursor remains in the box as if it still has focus, so if the user immediately starts typing, both the prompt text "Please enter a value" and the user-entered text appears over the gray text, which looks pretty ugly and unreadable.
Why does the TextInput receive the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT event if it's not actually losing focus?
ActionScript 3 :: List Drag And Drop And TextInput Focus Priority
Oct 31, 2011I'm using a Spark List with a TextInput in the ItemRenderer, with ability for the user to reorder the list rows by drag'n'dropping them. This is how I declared the list :
<s:List id="list" left="245" top="119" width="667" height="433"
dragDrop="insertItem(event)" dragEnabled="true"
dragEnter="acceptDrop(event)"
dragComplete="finalizeDragAndMove(event)"
dragMoveEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" focusAlpha="0"
skinClass="components.DataList_Campaign"
hasFocusableChildren="true" />
Everything works fine, except that it's impossible to select the text in the TextInput with the mouse, instead it's dragging the row...How can I set the TextInput to have priority over drag'n'drop ?

View 6 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Flex TextInput With Default Mobile Skins Automatically Regains Focus On Callout Close?
Feb 20, 2012I'm working on a simple auto complete function for my Flex mobile app. For that I've got a CalloutButton that triggers a Callout.The Callout holds some lists from which the user can select items. On item select, the callout gets closed (calloutButton.closeDropDown())The very same behavior is done for a TextInput. The user inputs text, the callout opens and according to the entered text, the lists change. Works fine so far. Now, when the user selects an item from any of the lists, the callout closes. Also fine.Now the issue, after the callout is closed, the TextInput automatically regains focus.On a mobile device this is more than disturbing.
I narrowed this behavior down to the mobile TextInput skin spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin) since a TextInput without this skin class doesn't show this behavior.Now you might say just use the default skin instead but unfortunately I can't. The default skin has a bug with Android devices that doesn't pass though the enter event. That I could live with since I'n not necessarily dependent on the enter event, however, the spark mobile skin allows be to continue entering text in the TextInput even after the callout has been opened, which is desperately needed as the lists change according to the entered text.I can't provide any code as the problem has been narrowed down to the skinClass, thus should not be in my own code. Believe me, I tried every nice and not so nice method to prevent the TextInput from getting focus again, but nothing worked.
Edit:Below the steps of my application's behaviour. (to be fair, the workflow inside the callout is a little more complex, I'm working with several lists and a SplitViewNavigator here (thus can't use the Flextras autocomplete), but that doesn't affect the TextInput focus issue I'm facing).ter text in TextInputOn key change a Callout with two Lists is opened.The first List receives results according to the entered text from a webserviceUser selects item from listSecond list receives results according to selection from first list from webservice User selects item on second listCallout closes

View 1 RepliesAS3 :: Applying Style To Components At Authoring-time?
Jun 18, 2009I'm trying to use fl.controls.Button under Flash CS3 to replace some "classic" custom button symbols with resizable ones with a consistent look and feel. However, I want to apply an icon to the button when authoring the layout of a particular frame on the timeline - but the only way I can see to set the icon style on a button is at runtime with myButton.setStyle(). Is there no way to customise style properties of AS3 Components when authoring on the stage, such that the preview in the IDE vaguely matches the end result? The 'Properties' inspector only provides 'emphasized', 'label', 'labelPlacement', 'selected' and 'toggle' inspectable properties - how do I assign style information at authoring-time?
View 7 RepliesSet Font Style To Label Or Button Components?

The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
