RE: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
It is a flash/browser issue. I'm surprised you got it working in FF. Maybe the latest versions have finally made it possible. Slowly, one browser at a time, we hope to work with the browser manufacturers to make it so your users can just start typing, but it isn't possible on all browsers right now.

Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Julian,
Still the focus is not set:( in the text input filed even after setting
callLater(myComp.setFocus) and more thing is keyboard events wont work, ie.
i mean clicking on tab wont work.Right now i m calling myComp.setFocus in
creation complete event handler.
*code Snippet*
creation complete event handler
private function init():void
{
/// some action script code here
callLater(this.setFocus);
}
P.N: This happens only in safari browser
Thanks,
Suman
RE: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Are you trying to start the app with focus so you can just start typing? AFAIK
this is only possible in IE. It is a browser plug-in issue. Hopefully newer
browsers will solve this issue.

Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Hi Julian, The screen looks to have focus on the login page and the textinput seems to have focus(i mean blue border surrouding the text input field) but the focus is not set inside text input field.On clicking(Mouse click ) somewhere within the application, the focus is set in the text input field.This happens only in Safari Browser. Thanks, Suman
Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
I ran into this same issue but with every browser - however it may be different
for you. Either way, the handling is simple:
First, the problem is that the SWF file within the browser doesn't have the
focus. Within the app your text field has focus, but you'll notice that you
won't get any keyboard events or anything until you do a fix.
The simplicity of it is that you need to use a bit of javascript to set the
focus to the swf on page load. To do this, you modify the index.template.html
file to have the following javascript function:
function focusFlash ()
{
document.getElementById('${application}').focus()
}
Now you can call that via ExternalInterface.call('focusFlash') on
CreationComplete or whichever event makes the most sense.
This will then set the focus to the SWF and shld resolve that issue.
ML,
Julian

Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Hi Julian, I did that and the focus seems to be in loaded SWF but it wont set the focus in textinput field embedded in the swf :( . This happens only in safari browser. Thanks, Suman
Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
The other thing is callLater(). I've found also that in some cases the focus only gets partially set when other things are still being initialized. Try calling callLater(myComp.setFocus); after creationComplete. -J From: suman gayakwad srgayak...@gmail.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, November 24, 2009 11:12:33 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus Hi Julian, I did that and the focus seems to be in loaded SWF but it wont set the focus in textinput field embedded in the swf :( .

Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Does the screen look like it has focus but when you type it doesn't actually go there?
