OK - ignore the second part of that, I found out why it's not working -
you need this instead:
this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusIn);
private function onFocusIn(event:FocusEvent):void
{
this.focusManager.hideFocus();
}
Thanks!

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Stopping blue focus rect being drawn
Hi, thanks!
this.setStyle("focusAlpha", 0);
That worked well in my TextArea (the blue rectangle is no longer shown).
However, I tried Alex Harui's approach too:
focusManager.showFocusIndicator = false;
(In both the application and the TextArea creationComplete event) and
that didn't work! I don't know if I was calling it in the wrong place,
but switching the focus indicator off seems like a better idea compared
with just making it invisible.
Thanks,
Mark

If it's just that you don't want the user to see the blue focus
rectangle, you can just set the focusAlpha style to zero globally, and
the user won't see the rectangle.

showFocusIndicator is set back to true by TextInput and TextArea so you
may need to catch that and set it back to false. Subclassing and
overriding focusInHandler might be one way

Subject: [flexcoders] Stopping blue focus rect being drawn
Hi, how can I stop the blue focus rectangle from being drawn? I've tried
the following code in my main application file:
private function onCreationComplete(event:Event):void
{
//this.stage.stageFocusRect = false;
systemManager.stage.stageFocusRect = false;
}
But neither line works!
Thanks,
Mark
