Property Detail

enableIME

property

enableIME:Boolean [read-only]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A flag that indicates whether the IME should be enabled when the component receives focus.

Implementation
public function get enableIME():Boolean

focusEnabled

property

focusEnabled:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

A flag that indicates whether the component can receive focus when selected.

As an optimization, if a child component in your component implements the IFocusManagerComponent interface, and you never want it to receive focus, you can set focusEnabled to false before calling addChild() on the child component.

This will cause the FocusManager to ignore this component and not monitor it for changes to the tabFocusEnabled, tabChildren, and mouseFocusEnabled properties. This also means you cannot change this value after addChild() and expect the FocusManager to notice.

Note: It does not mean that you cannot give this object focus programmatically in your setFocus() method; it just tells the FocusManager to ignore this IFocusManagerComponent component in the Tab and mouse searches.

Implementation
public function get focusEnabled():Boolean
public function set focusEnabled(value:Boolean):void

hasFocusableChildren

property

hasFocusableChildren:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 4.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.5

A flag that indicates whether child objects can receive focus.

Note: This property is similar to the tabChildren property used by Flash Player. Use the hasFocusableChildren property with Flex applications. Do not use the tabChildren property.

This property is usually false because most components either receive focus themselves or delegate focus to a single internal sub-component and appear as if the component has received focus. For example, a TextInput control contains a focusable child RichEditableText control, but while the RichEditableText sub-component actually receives focus, it appears as if the TextInput has focus. TextInput sets hasFocusableChildren to false because TextInput is considered the component that has focus. Its internal structure is an abstraction.

Usually only navigator components, such as TabNavigator and Accordion, have this flag set to true because they receive focus on Tab but focus goes to components in the child containers on further Tabs.

The default value is false, except for the spark.components.Scroller component. For that component, the default value is true.

The default value is false.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the hasFocusableChildrenChange event.

Implementation
public function get hasFocusableChildren():Boolean
public function set hasFocusableChildren(value:Boolean):void

imeMode

property

imeMode:String

This is just a stub to support the interface. The parent mx.controls.HTML contains the conversionMode and applies it.

Implementation
public function get imeMode():String
public function set imeMode(value:String):void

mouseFocusEnabled

property

mouseFocusEnabled:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.1

Whether the component can receive focus when clicked on. If false, focus will be transferred to the first parent that is mouseFocusEnable set to true.

The default value is true.

Implementation
public function get mouseFocusEnabled():Boolean
public function set mouseFocusEnabled(value:Boolean):void

tabFocusEnabled

property

tabFocusEnabled:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 4.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

AIR 1.5

A flag that indicates whether child objects can receive focus

This is similar to the tabEnabled property used by the Flash Player.

This is usually true for components that handle keyboard input, but some components in controlbars have them set to false because they should not steal focus from another component like an editor.

The default value is true.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the tabFocusEnabledChange event.

Implementation
public function get tabFocusEnabled():Boolean
public function set tabFocusEnabled(value:Boolean):void

Parameters

isFocused:Boolean — If true, draw the focus indicator, otherwise hide it.

setFocus

()

method

public function setFocus():void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0
