Placing cursor (blinking caret) into input TextField for user input in AS3.

Question

What is an easiest way to place cursor (focus?) into a Input TextField receiving user input after an event? Focus Manager classes have always seems very confusing to me.

Answer 1

Good news for you: in as3 there is no Focus Manager, just use the stage:

stage.focus = textField;
textField.setSelection(textField.text.length,textField.text.length); //place caret at end of text
