Re: [flexcoders] Re: FocusOut event fires over and over...
Valdhor has a good memory, but that doesn’t sound like the issue here. Other things to check: Does the Popup implement IFocusManagerContainer (it does if it is a Panel/TitleWindow) and do you have code in the popup that sets focus to a control in the PopUp on initialize or creationComplete event (if not you should)? Then fall back on using callLater so the FocusManager can finish doing its TAB thing before you create the popup. Sorry I didn’t read this thread sooner.

I seem to recall Alex responding about when a pop-up closes, focus returns to the control that opened the pop-up. You may like to search the archives. One other thing to try would be adding an event listener for when the pop-up closes that prevents a new pop-up being opened until new text is placed in the text input. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Laurence lmacne...@... wrote: That doesn't seem to work either. Focus keeps returning to the original TextInput for some reason... I've even tried manually setting the focus to the next TextInput immediately after removing the FocusOut event listener on the first TextInput, before calling the pop-up window -- still doesn't work right; focus keeps going back to the first TextInput when the pop-up window closes. Now, if I click somewhere else on the screen -- in other words, I don't click or tab into the next TextInput -- the window pops up just the one time... I do not have any FocusIn or FocusOut parameters set in that second TextInput, so I don't know why clicking or tabbing into that second TextInput would cause the problem... Anything else I should try? This is just ridiculous -- it *should* work, but for some reason focus keeps getting sent back to the first TextInput. I'm running Flex Builder 3.5a, and Flash Player 10,0,42,34.

Sounds simple enough, right? But the FocusOut event keeps occurring over and over... I type something into the TextInput then hit Tab. The pop-up window pops up the way it's supposed to. I select something in the pop-up window (or close it without selecting anything) and it pops right back up. It's like my TextInput is re-gaining focus and then losing it again (which makes the window pop-up, again, forcing me to select something or close the window, which makes it happen again, etc., etc) So how do I prevent this from happening? Why is FocusOut occurring over and over and over like that? I've tried, in my FocusOut handler, setting the focus onto another TextInput before calling the pop-up window, but that does no good -- same exact results. This is incredibly frustrating!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FocusOut ??
No luck. In the appplication I was calling a method and not using an Alert. I am going to try the FocusManager.RichOn 9/5/06, Peter Watson

Hi Rich,
When closed - a popup will return focus to
whatever element had it before the popup was opened.
So, even though the focus cursor is
showing in the second field - the focus isn't getting completely updated
in the focus manager to the second textField before the Alert popup open and
gets focus.
It's a timing issue - try delaying
your focusOut handler with a callLater() to give the focus manager time to
switch focus to the next field in the main app - then it should function the
way you want.
mx:TextInput
id=t1 text=Hello
focusOut=callLater(doSomething) /
Let me know if that does the trick
