When is your initialize command firing, in the init event of the component? Can you try this? Will this not work in your situation? Granted what you have done should work… but timing can be a pain.
function initialize() { name.text = ModelLocator.field.languageDetails[0].label; }
function childrenCreated() //or function show() { Selection.setFocus(formItem); }
]]> </mx:Script>
<mx:Text id="name" width="100%" autoSize="true" styleName="fieldName" />

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" />

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)

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.

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

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…

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
