RE: [flexcoders] txtbx focus at login

Last I heard, this was not possible in FF.

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();

}

I'm looking into this now, but won't get back to it for a while:

Thanks for the pointers.

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( );
}
