RE: [flexcoders] Re: textArea.setFocus();
Should it not put the cursor into the textArea and have the 10th through 20th characters selected? Even if you select a range of text with the mouse you will not see the blinking insertion cursor in the textarea. What matters is that your app has focus so that it can receive keyboard actions. So the trick is to come-up with some trivial task for the user to perform that forces them to click.

I think you can open bugs against the Flash Player now, so I would do that, and reference this bug From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of valdhor Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 9:06 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: textArea.setFocus(); I found this bug in Jira: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-429 It's been around since March of 06.
