How to get a textinput field to not use fullscreen mode on Android 4.2

I just got the latest Nexus phone from Google, and it is one of the few Android devices running 4.2, and in my app which works fine on other Android versions and iOS, any text input field i have, when the software keyboard comes up it comes up in fullscreen mode, completely covering the screen, which I definitely don't want to happen. This is controllable in Java, but no concept of "fullscreen" exists in the Actionscript library methods/variables for the TextInput class. This is a very bad thing to happen, as fullscreen means you can't see the context of the field, and on a super high res screen like the Nexus it is really not that useful.

Anyone have a clue as to how to stop this from happening? Other than writing in Java of course ;->
