RE: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB
Lol. The problem seemed to be with my use of the FocusManager. I was creating an instance of it and passing into drawing functions that were creating the TextInput1 fields: objFocusManager = new FocusManager(); Then use the nextTabIndex to set fields tabIndex: txtUsername.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex; txtPassword.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex; When I traced this out, I noticed that it always returned 1? Anyway, I removed the FocusManger and simply added 1,2,3,etc and evreything appears to be fine now.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB
Created a TextInput1 component which has an internal TextInput. We
basically have some custon drawing functions to display it differently
form the norm.
For some reason, I can TAB forward through a small form with two of
these TextInput1 boxes, but I'm unable to SHIFT+TAB backwards?
Within the init() funciton we have the following:
private function init()
{
//trace(I'm a text input);
// hide the clips bounding box
boundingBox_mc._visible = false;
boundingBox_mc._width = 0;
boundingBox_mc._height = 0;
// need to direct focus to the txtInput field
this.onSetFocus = function()
{
trace(SETFOCUS);
if ((txtInput.enabled) (txtInput.editable)) {
txtInput.onSetFocus();
}
}
this.onKillFocus = function(n)
{
txtInput.onKillFocus(n);
}
this.drawFocus = function(b)
{
txtInput.drawFocus(b);
}
}
Anyone any ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB
Trie that. No difference.
The problem also appears in the browser.
I've altered th onSetFocus as follows:
this.onSetFocus = function(oldFocus)
{
trace(onSetFocus called, previous focus was: + oldFocus);
if ((txtInput.enabled) (txtInput.editable)) {
txtInput.onSetFocus();
}
}
Now, when I tab from one TextInput1, (txtUsername) to another,
(txtPassword) I correctly see:
onSetFocus called, previous focus was:
_level0.login_mc.txtUsername.txtInput.label
But when I SHIFT+TAB back I repeatedly see:
onSetFocus called, previous focus was:
_level0.login_mc.txtPassword.txtInput.label
And the focus remains in the txtPassword, when it should move back up to
the txtUsername.
Is there some way to use the oldFocus parameter and pass the focus back
to it if a SHIFT+TAB
Has been pressed?

RE: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB
Yes.
I've used FocusManager.nextTabIndex() to set all tabIndexes, but there
the following on screen, (in preferred tab order):
1. A search box at the top
2. Username field
3. Password field
4. A Login button
5. A Register button
TAB SHIFT TAB works between the buttons, but only TAB( tabbing
forward), works on the fields.
All text fields are type TextInput1. If I use the standard TextInput,
tabbing is fine.

have a tabIndex ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Newbie question: SHIFT+TAB
And what exactly is TextInput1? A custom class I suppose. Which class does it extend? For tabbing to work propertly with other v2 components, you don't have much choice other than extending UIComponent (or any of the v2 core classes).
