How to set focus on a textbox

This is a common issue with Flash in Browsers. AFAIK there is only a solution for IE, not other browsers and it involves JavaScript call setFocus on the object tag on one of the document or window events. If you google you'll find it.

Thank u For your reply , but i am not using html, directly the swf oly i am using.

In build.xml i will mention where the swf should be placed after build, so it will be placed in that path, for login how to send swf from html

?Can u help me

Thanks In Advance

Hi,

Sorry to say I am not getting your problem.

But what I will suggest dont do any thing else,simply open the swf which you have been created after building your application i.e. under the

'bin-debug' or 'bin-release' folder.I think in that it will be already working fine but in builder during running or debugging you will not see it working.
