Stopping Focus Highlight on a mx.controls.TextInput in Action Script on TAB
I recently had a problem with a mx.controls.TextInput which rendered a highlignt area below the TextInput when I tabbed into the control.
After much hunting around, I found the following Action Script solution:
_env.createClassObject(mx.controls.TextInput, objectId, _depth++);
_env[objectId].onSetFocus = function () {
this.drawFocus (false);
};
_env[objectId].onKillFocus = function () {
this.drawFocus (false);
};
Basically, add the onSetFocus and onKillFocus event handlers to the TextInput supress the drawFocus().
