I think you want subclass, get to the inner TextField and set alwaysShowSelection on it. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Ingram Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 4:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] How to keep TextArea from losing focus? I've tried using systemManager.stage.focus and the various setFocus and MOUSE_FOCUS_CHANGE / KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE (with preventDefault) being called. But the focus is still lost from the Text Area. This is what I'm doing currently: this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.MOUSE_FOCUS_CHANGE, handleMouseFocusChange); this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE, handleKeyFocusChange); this.textField.addEventListener(FocusEvent.MOUSE_FOCUS_CHANGE, handleMouseFocusChange); this.textField.addEventListener(FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE, handleKeyFocusChange); private function handleMouseFocusChange(event:FocusEvent):void { event.preventDefault(); } private function handleKeyFocusChange(event:FocusEvent):void { event.preventDefault(); } I hoped that would stop the focus from moving away from the text area - but it doesn't.
