Try this:
<mx:TextInput id="username"
creationComplete="Selection.setFocus(username);" />
You need to use the Selection class to do what you want. Only thing is,
if you're expecting the caret to be blinking in the field when loaded in
the browser, you're not guaranteed that behavior every time...the field
definitely has focus every time, the caret isn't always blinking in it
though...it happens intermittently...so the way I got around this is I
use the JSP taglib tag and embed my entire flex app in a JSP page and in
the body element of the HTML in my JSP, I force forcus on the Flex movie
which has an ID, so I use Javascript to force the focus of the Flex app,
which in turn guarantees a blinking caret in my focuses field without
fail every time.

Subject: [flexcoders] setFocus() on a TextInput
So..i want a textinput to show focus..on other words it should
selected for editing, etc.
I try:
feedURLText.setFocus();
with feedURLText as the ID of the TextInput component.
This does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael
