p.s. tried doLater as well. No go From: Semi-pseudo code…I’ve attached
two pics, before and after to highlight what’s going on…even if I
explicitly call setSelection using the text length to determine
positions…it’s referencing the previous text value so calculations
are wrong. function initialize()
{
name.text = ModelLocator.field.languageDetails[0].label;
Selection.setFocus(formItem);
}
]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Text
id="name" width="100%" autoSize="true"
styleName="fieldName" /> From: This was first thing I tried…it
doesn’t work properly because the text length it determines is that of
the previous text. The textinput is bound to a data model…the model
changes, then setFocus is called. (as well as setSelection or any other things
I’ve tried) -Stace From: Old skool way was to use the text name. You can use
the built in setFocus, which originally was just a wrapper to
Selection.setFocus. As for setSelection: Selection.setSelection(0, myText_txt.length); That always has to occur after setFocus, not before. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mercer,

setFocus is evil Ok got it. You have to use the
selection object. Here is the code (Straight from Flash MX 204 LiveDocs http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001659.html
) : this.createTextField("myText_txt",
99, 10, 10, 200, 30); myText_txt.text =
"this is my text"; Selection.setFocus("myText_txt"); Selection.setSelection(0,
3); Hope this helps J From: Stacy, I have had this problem as well L I am sad to say, I
hate the focus manager. Ok that was a little harsh… but none the
less, it has its’ issues. There is a way to set the position of the
caret though (Set the start index of the caret as well as the end, so you can choose
the text you wish to be highlighted). I am going to try to find that
code. In the mean time, you may want to try setFocus in the show event or
childrenCreated event. That may fix your issue. If not, then the
code for setting the caret position may help. I will find that code and
post it. Give me a few… Dustin Mercer From: Tiny problem but it’s still driving
me nuts. I’ve got a viewstack that’s changed based on a users
selection. Each time a container within that stack is viewed an initialization
script is run to populate form elements. At the end of the process I’m
using setFocus to, well, focus on the first textinput field. The problem is the
selection on the textinput field is the length of the previous value for that
field. So if the current value of the textinput is “abc” and the
model changes to “abcdef”…When the setFocus executes
it’s only highlighting from a to c Hope that was clear, ‘tis
late… Thx Stace
