You can call setFocus() on the creationComplete event for the TextInput.
Here is an example:
private function createTI(): void
{
var newTI:TextInput = new TextInput();
newTI.addEventListener("creationComplete", setInFocus);
addChild(newTI);
}
private function setInFocus(event:FlexEvent): void
{
event.target.setFocus();
}

Subject: [flexcoders] setFocus on TextInput created in AS
Hopefully this is just me being a bonehead, but when creating a
TextInput in actionscript, it appears you can't call setFocus() on it
until some point in the future when the internal text field has been
created.
I'm not sure when I can know it's safe to set the focus on it, but
I'd like to put the focus on it after I create it. If it matters,
this is for a custom item editor.
thanks
charles
p.s. Flex guys, I'd think this is a bug in TextInput.setFocus() to
not check that textField is not null.
