We have a very large, form based app, so there may be something there. It can sometimes take up to 3 - 4 seconds to tab to the second form field. Some questions: 1. When is the sorted list computed? On the first tab? 2. Is there any way we can change when that happens? 3. What determines whether an object "can receive focus"? If we have a form/canvas "over" a form/canvas over ... is it only the visible form that has objects that can receive focus? 4. What do you mean by startup time delays?

We do compute a sorted list of all objects that can receive focus, but you'd need an awful lot of them to cause a noticeable delay, and if you've created that many, I'd expect you'd be having startup time delays that would be even more problematic. > > Alex Harui > Flex SDK Developer > Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/> com/> > Blog: http://blogs. <http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui> adobe.com/aharui > > From: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com] On Behalf Of schneiderjim > Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 2:08 PM > To: flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] first user tab is slow > > > Flex: 2.0.1 > > In our app, we experience a "significant" delay when the user tabs from the first form field to the second. After that, tabs work as expected. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to eliminate this delay? I'm not sure whether this is a factor, but many (not all) of the forms are dynamically created (in AS). > > Thanks >
