Has this issue ever been resolved? Is there a reliable work around to automatically assign focus to the flash movie on startup? With this simple code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" applicationComplete="foo.setFocus()"> <mx:TextInput id="foo"/> </mx:Application>
i can see the flex framework assigning focus to the TextInput, but until the user clicks on the app, the user can not type into the box.
