Stacy,
I was having the same exact problem when my application loaded for the first time because I wanted the cursor to default and the caret be blinking in the username field of the login section so the user, when going to my site, didn’t have to explicitly click their mouse in the username field to login initially. No matter what I tried, it didn’t work when I was going to http://localhost:7001/myapp/Index.mxml
BUT…I found a fix that has the caret blinking in my text field EVERY time without fail, which I don’t know if it’ll help with your situation or not, but what I did was I ended up embedding my application in a JSP page…so to access my application, the user now goes to http://localhost:7001/myapp/index.jsp and in my jsp page I have _javascript_ that EXPLICITLY sets focus to the now-embedded swf file…by doing this…the browser’s focus is initially set to the flash movie (i.e.: my flex app), which in turn successfully makes use of the Selection.setFocus(username) call successfully that I have in the creationComplete listener of the username TextInput component.
My index.jsp simply looks like this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" %> <%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" %> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX"> <title>My App</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; } --> </style></head>
<body > <mm:mxml source="Index.mxml" id="appSWF" name="appSWF" /> </body> </html>
**Notice the onLoad listener of my <body> tag.
And then, in my Index.mxml file I simply have a view stack, whose first child is Login.mxml whose content looks like this:
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns:merlinView="com.merlin.pb.view.*" title="Login" width="772" height="200" horizontalAlign="left">
<merlinView:LoginViewHelper name="loginView" view="{this}" />
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import com.iterationtwo.cairngorm.control.EventBroadcaster;
public var statusMessage:String = "Please enter your username and password";
public function doLogin() { EventBroadcaster.getInstance().broadcastEvent("login"); }
// check for enter key punch function check(event) { var keyCode_num:Number = event.ascii; if (keyCode_num == Key.ENTER) doLogin(); } ]]> </mx:Script>
<mx:Text text="{ statusMessage }" width="100%" />
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="left">
<mx:Form id="loginForm"> <mx:FormItem label="Username: " horizontalAlign="left"> <mx:TextInput id="username" creationComplete="Selection.setFocus(username);" /> </mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Password: " horizontalAlign="left"> <mx:TextInput id="password" password="true" keyDown="check(event);" /> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:ControlBar> <mx:Button label="Login" click="doLogin()" /> </mx:ControlBar> </mx:Panel>
Hope that helps,
Rob

Thanks for the effort Philippe but that also fails. (the first time)

If you want the focus every time the current Viestack container is shown you can trigger the focus on the 'show' event of the container:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

maybe add creationComplete = "this.setFocus()" on the field itself
From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Stacy Young p.s. only occurs when displayed for the first time. (textinput sits in a viewstack). Tried changing the creationPolicy to all, no effect. When the viewstack is flipped back to show the field again later, the setFocus works as intended. Ack!

Minor annoyance here but I can’t seem to get the text of a textinput field to highlight properly. It’s as if the setFocus occurs before the textinput value is set so the cursor is just placed at index 0 of the field. Also tried explicitly selection the text in the field using setSelection but alas, no effect.
Myfield.text = “blah”; Myfield.setFocus(); (or Selection.setFocus(Myfield))
Appreciate any insight, Gracias, Stace
