How do I set a focus property on a TextInput that is built using AddChild?
- by Huuuze
I have the following MXML:
<mx:State name="myState">
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{myhbox}" position="after">
<mx:Box verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Form id="myForm" width="479" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:FormItem label="My Label:" fontWeight="bold" id="myLabel" direction="vertical">
<mx:TextInput id="myTextInput" width="282" />
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Go" click="go();" id="goButton" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Box>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
How do I set focus on the TextInput field using <mx:SetProperty/>? I've tried the following, but it only results in the field being highlighted -- the cursor does not appear in the TextInput:
<mx:SetProperty target="{stage}" name="focus" value="{myTextInput}"/>
Long story short, I want the cursor to appear in the field.
UPDATE: I figured it out. See comments for solution.
