RE: [flexcoders] txtbx focus at login

[Robert Byrne]

In my template I put this line in the body tag:
onLoad="window.document.${application}.focus();" 

That works in IE but I can't get FF(3.0.4) to work.  One of the link I listed 
in an earlier post suggested adding this line to get FF to play nice as FF has 
a known issue with the embed tag:
   <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
and
   <embed ... wmode="opaque" ...></embed>

But none of this is working with FF.  I may have to let this go and thank my 
lucky stars my clients are all internal and most of them use IE!

Thanks for all the support.

This works in IE: 

   

window.onload =
setFocusOnLoad; 

function setFocusOnLoad(){ 

      ${swf}.focus(); 

}

  There also a bit about it here: http://www.htmlforu ms.com/archive/

  This is because the Flash Player instance itself (Object/Embed
  tag) does not have the focus in the Browser.  There is a bit of
  javascript code that will set the focus, but last I heard it only works in
  IE.  I can find that script if it would be useful.

    This is a bit
    odd.  When I first open the application, the focus IS set on the login
    txtbx but when I start typing nothing happens.

    

    If I tab to the password txtbx I can type.  If I tab back to the
    login, I can type.

    

    If I click anywhere on the flex app, not just in the login txtbx, I can
    type.

    

    I know the focus is on the login txtbx because there is an orange box
    around it.  When tabbing to the password, the orange box moves to the
    password.

    

    I tried setting focus to the flash object in the html wrapper within a
    window.onload event using both focus() and click().  Nothing.

    

    Any ideas?

    Thanks - Robert.

    

    Here's some code:

    

    MXML:

    

    <mx:Label text="@Resource( key='loginId' , bundle='Labels' )"
    fontWeight=" bold" width="60" />

    <mx:TextInput id="usernameInput" width="140" />

    

    AS:

    override protected function init():void{

      super.init() ;

      this.logger. debug("init" );

    

      this.loginForm. defaultButton = this.loginButton;

      this.usernameInput. setFocus( );

    }
