This *is* possible.
In your html-template directory, locate the index.template.html file.
In the file, locate these lines of code (should be around Lines
90-thru-100, assuming you haven't modified this file):
====== CODE =======
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be placed
here. '
====== /CODE ======
Immediately before the line with the " } else {", add the following:
====== CODE =======
document.THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_MAIN_MXML_FILE.focus();
====== /CODE =======
In your main MXML file, add the following to the creationComplete
attribute:
====== CODE =======
stage.focus = YOUR_MASKED_INPUT;
====== /CODE =======
That should do it. Your users won't be forced to click in the browser
to begin typing.
