Hi Robert, we have discussed this problem recently: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/102706
Also, there is a separate problem - when you want to place a cursor somewhere at the application startup. SWF just does not receive a focus from a browser (Firefox). This works fine in IE and it was recently fixed in Safari(Mac OS). Cheers, Dmitri. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Robert Csiki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello: > > Calling setFocus() on TextInput controls does not bring the blinking > cursor inside the text box.
