TextField focus with blinking cursor

I'm pretty sure I solved the problem with stage.focus = textField;

Found the solution here: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=114805

hope this is helpful.

the text color is not the same as the background. here is a link to the fla. it includes the context that the textfield is within. i just want the top textfield to have a blinking cursor. get the fla here: kurtcom.com/test_text.fla

thanks.

if you click somewhere else, the textfield doesn't have focus.

does your textfield have a background color different from its text color? if so, drag your textfield to a new fla and retest there. if you still can't see your cursor, post link the the fla that only contains your input textfield.

To answer your question, it would be to click somewhere else. Problem is, it's not blinking in the first place. However, the textfield clearly has focus, since I can type into it.

Just to be sure I understand correctly... In my situation I have set the focus to a TextField, and the cursor is not present, yet when I type into the textfield, the text comes up. Should this be happening? Thanks.

it blinks by default. how do you stop it from blinking in the textfield that has focus?
