Adding that stage.focus trick made things worse: text box is not even highlighted!

I use it on a textInput field’s focusOut, if it fails a RegExp test, i set some vars, and on a focusIn method checks if the previous field failed, then the method sets focus back to the previous textInput as well as show an errorString. I made the focusIn and focusOut methods dynamic, so i use it over on all my required fields

hopefully this helps

here’s my code example:

//mValidation is a Boolean
//lPreviousItem is a String

private function checkFocusInAmount(field:Event)
:void {
if(!mValidationError) {
var lText:String = field.currentTarget.text;
if(Number(lText) == 0) {
field.currentTarget.text = “”;
}
}
else {
callLater(
field.currentTarget.focusManager.setFocus
[this[mPreviousItem]]);
}
}

private function checkFocusOutAmount(field:Event)
:void {
var lText:String = field.currentTarget.text;
var lTest:RegExp = /^[0-9]+([\.][0-9]{1,2})?$/;

if(lText == “”) {
field.currentTarget.text = “0.00″;
}
else {
if(lTest.test(lText)) {
field.currentTarget.text =
Number(lText).toFixed(2);
field.currentTarget.errorString = ”;
mValidationError = false;
}
else {
field.currentTarget.errorString =
‘Amount is in the incorrect format.
\nOnly an Amount with up to 2 decimal
places allowed.\nAmount format: #.##’;

mValidationError = true;
mPreviousItem = field.currentTarget.id;
}
}
}

Please let me know the solution!

Can you mail me the code sample.

Trying all your suggestions still not working. Also using Firefox. Here is my code. . .

Can you help?

To resolve this problem we got to get the focus.Use this line addedToStage=”stage.focus=null;” , it will bring the focus to the current stage and sets the focus.Like if the Textfield is in TitleWindow so add this line to the TitleWindow.

however, i am also having trouble setting focus to teh first of a group of radio buttons or checkboxes.
