I've got it working, just made a few changes to your code:
* I got a handle on the focus manager before setting focus
* defaultButton as attribute of Form, not panel.
Otherwise, all is well.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
creationComplete="checkLoginFormForSelection();">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
private function checkLoginFormForSelection() : Void{
var fm = getFocusManager();
if (email.length == 0) {
fm.setFocus(email);
Selection.setSelection(1,1)
return;
}
if (password.length == 0) {
fm.setFocus(password);
Selection.setSelection(1,1)
return;
}
}
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:Panel title="Login Form Focus" >
<mx:Form defaultButton="login">
<mx:FormItem label="Email">
<mx:TextInput id="email" text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Password">
<mx:TextInput id="password" text=""/>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:Button click="mx.controls.Alert.show('You just logged in');"
label="Login" id="login"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
