Hi João,
This is kind of a hack, but you could try:
<mx:State name="editing" onEnter="localeEditor.myTextBox.setFocus() ">
If you used this, you would want to execute the setFocus code on
creationComplete of the editor; for the first time that the editor is
shown. Instead of useing states for something like this though, you
might want to consider using a ViewSTack instead. For those the "show"
event, in conjunction with creationComplete, would work; when changing
the container's selectedIndex.
