In HTML5, clicking in an input text field that is of type="email", makes mobile devices show a keyboard specifically for entering emails. Is it possible to do the same for a text field in AS3 when designing an AIR app for iOS/Android?

using an input textfield should trigger the keyboard when it receives focus

Hey mate

It triggers the keyboard, but there are two types of keyboard you can trigger with HTML5 - the regular one, and one that is set up for entering emails - it has the @ key, and the . key. I'm wondering how you trigger the latter with AS3.

I doubt that every mobile device has these two types of keyboard. there are literally thousands of different android devices (phones/tablets) that implement these things differently (I have for example a Toshiba Thrive Tablet and never encountered such a "special" keyboard), you should stick to the one this special device defaults to, since that is what the user of this device expects.
