Re: [flexcoders] Placing cursor inside UITextField

[Brandon Krakowsky]

Got this to work:

textField.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, function(evt:Event):void {
    var textField:UITextField = evt.currentTarget as UITextField;
    textField.setFocus();
});

Thanks for everyone's help,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Use the following to set focus for the textField's instance of UITextField:

var textField:UITextFie ld = new UITextField( );
textField.type = "input";
textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize. LEFT;
textField.multiline = true;
textField.wordWrap = false;
textField.border = false;

myContainer. addChild( textField)

textField.setFocus( textField) ;

Notice, that first you have to add textField to the DisplayChildList
of corresponding container via addChild and only then you can call
"setFocus" on it.
