The browsers steal focus. I've heard that somebody figured out enough Javascript, but I'm not sure if it worked in all cases.

We are developing a web appliation using flex builder 2. Our initial flex "page" has a single TextInput field for login. It gets focus (ie, it is highlighted in blue", the cursor is not active nor can we type into the field until we click somewhere in the app. Until then, the focus is in the browser tool bars. Tabbing does not help. Any suggestions how to get input focus into the swf on startup??? Thanks. Mike
