I'd say those comments are not completely accurate; this note from the same page better describes the problem:
"Note: Due to a limitation in the way that browsers currently handle Flash content, the user does have to click on the Flash application once to move focus to it on the web page that it is embedded into." There is a workaround for Internet Explorer that basically entails telling the browser to give focus to the Flash Player control when the page loads - search the archives or CFlex for an example. If your users are using Mozilla or FireFox, they're out of luck since those browsers just don't allow setting the focus programmatically. --- In [email protected], Gareth Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is it just me? or does this seem like a severe limitation of using Flex > to build applications. > > Comment from: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/validating_data/ > > // Set the focus on the first field so > // user does not have to mouse over to it. > // Note that the user still has to click on the > // Flex application to give it focus.
