Gets or sets a reference to the default button. The default button serves as a proxy button for any component that has focus when the Enter key is pressed. The pressing of the Enter key triggers a click event to be dispatched on the default button on behalf of the component that has focus. Button components do not require default buttons. When focus moves to a Button component it cannot trigger the default button; if focus moves from a Button component to a component that is not a button, the default button may be triggered again.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the default button is enabled. If this value is set to true, the focus manager monitors the Enter key and dispatches a click event on the default button if the Enter key is pressed when a component that is not a Button component has focus. If this value is set to false, the focus manager does not monitor the Enter key. Components that use the Enter key set this property to false to prevent a click event from being dispatched on the default button, if one exists, when a user presses the Enter key.

Base DisplayObjectContainer for the IFocusManager, usually the stage.

Gets the next unique tab index to use in the current tab loop. A tab loop includes one or more components that are managed by a focus manager.

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the user interface changes to indicate that a specific component has focus.

If this property is set to true, a component that has focus is marked with a visual indicator. If it is set to false, a visual indicator of focus is not used.

By default, this property is set to false until the user presses the Tab key; then it is set to true.

Activates a focus manager.

When multiple DisplayObjectContainer objects are displayed on the screen at the same time, the system manager activates and deactivates their FocusManager objects as focus moves from one container to the next. When focus moves to a component in an DisplayObjectContainer object whose focus manager is deactivated, the system manager activates that focus manager by making a call to the activate() method. Only one focus manager is active at a time; before activating a focus manager the system manager uses the deactivate() method to deactivate an active focus manager whose components have lost focus.

Deactivates a focus manager.

When multiple DisplayObjectContainer objects are displayed on the screen at the same time, the system manager activates and deactivates their FocusManager objects as focus moves from one container to the next. When focus moves to a component in an DisplayObjectContainer object whose focus manager is deactivated, the system manager activates that focus manager by making a call to the activate() method. Only one focus manager is active at a time; before activating a focus manager the system manager uses the deactivate() method to deactivate an active focus manager whose components have lost focus.

Retrieves the IFocusManagerComponent object that contains the specified object, if there is one.

Flash Player can set focus on subcomponents as well as on components themselves. This method is used to find the component that either has focus or contains the subcomponent that has focus.

Parameters

Retrieves the IFocusManagerComponent component that currently has focus. Use this method to determine which component has focus. Using the Stage object to find out which component has focus may result in the return of the subcomponent of the component that has focus.

Retrieves the component that receives focus next if the user causes focus to move by using the Tab key.

This method can be used to detect the next component to receive focus in the tab loop if focus moves by one element in either a forward or backward direction. If the application does not contain other valid components, this method retrieves the current component that has focus.

Parameters

Sets the showFocusIndicator property to false. If a component that has focus is marked with a visual indicator of focus, this method removes that indicator.

Sets focus to an IFocusManagerComponent component. This method does not check for component visibility, enabled state, or any other conditions.

Parameters

Sets the showFocusIndicator property to true. If a component has focus, this method draws the visual focus indicator on that component.
