Alright, scratch that, i figured that out. you use the setFocus() method. so its like
textid.setFocus() but now I have a different question. I have a normal html form where someone has to fill in an ldap username. No one knows what these usernames are though, so there is a button for lookup, which uses javascript to pop open a window. The window has a flash form with a text input and a data grid, and as you type the name of the person in the text box, it uses flash remoting to bring back the search results in the data grid. Then they select the name of the person they want, hit submit in the flash form. It then posts back to the same page, on post it uses javascript to fill in the text input on the page the spawned the window in the first place and closes the window. Its a great solution. Only problem is, when they click the button to lookup, and the flash form loads, even though I am setting focus to the text input, the user still has to click inside the flash movie and give it focus before they can start typing. Does anyone know a way that I can set focus to the flash movie and then on the text input where they can just click the lookup button and just start typing as soon as the form loads?
