hopefully this will help the next one who finds this through google:

in com.facebook.graph.windows.AbstractWindow.as:

need to add:

public static var focusChangeFunction:Function;

and to the handleHtmlDomInit() (triggers on Event.HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE):

html.window.addEventListener( "focus", onJavaScriptFocusIn, true );

when onJavaScriptFocusIn changed to:

protected function onJavaScriptFocusIn( event:Object ):void {
if( event.target.localName == "input" || event.target.localName =="textarea" ) {
focusChangeFunction(html.window.document.activeElement);
}
}

——————————————

in your project, import com.facebook.graph.windows.AbstractWindow and:

import com.facebook.graph.windows.AbstractWindow;

AbstractWindow.focusChangeFunction = function(obj:Object)
{
focusedBox = obj;
}

modify:

function onMouseFocus( fe:FocusEvent ):void {
if( fe.relatedObject is Key || fe.relatedObject is ScreenBoard )
{
fe.preventDefault();
}
else focusedBox = null;
}

everything else stays basicaly the same, instead of using webView.focus just use focusedBox.

thank you again mich!!!!

i’m building Air desktop app’ that will be in a tuch-screen kiosk, basicaly a user creats a custumized picture after taking a snapshot with the buitin camera and uploads it to his facebook.

i’ve come as far as creating a custumized keyboard with a software, much like microsofts on screen keyboard and lunching it as a process throught air when the login dialog appears, then turning it of when login finished/canceled.
- bad idia

im developing with flash cs and the htmlloader is created and lunched through the facebook’s api, i’ve already modified most of it to prevent unwanted user interaction.

I hope i’d be able to reverse-engeener you example and implent it because it’s basicaly the last issue I have in this project.

thank you!

to know when a user clicks on an inputfield/textarea you have to register a function to the “focus” event of javascript like this:
webView.window.addEventListener( "focus", onJavaScriptFocusIn, true );
That will call the onJavaScriptFocusIn function when the user clicks on an element that can get a focus.
have a look on the last code snippet in the article where i listen to the focus and blur event to know when the webview got or loses the focus on something.

Your main problem is that your air/java app that is started out of the browser should communicate with firefox which is as far as i know not possible. also to start the external app it is not possible without a bunch of confirmation boxes. you probably should choose a different approach:
start an air/java app, that can display webpages. in air for example that would be the html control.

If you need the firefox browser, you probably stick with some of the plugins…
This way you dont need to code.

let me know which way you choose.

if i get your idea right you want a keyboard that runs inside any browser?
then you probably build better a frameset and search for a virtual javascript keyboard if this exists…

how you do this also depends on the os you are working with..

feel free to ask if you need more infos.
