An activated text field contains a pointer that indicates the current insertion point. The user can change the pointer's location within the text field using the device's navigation keys.

By default, Flash Lite draws a focus rectangle around the text field that has the current focus. This focus rectangle can sometimes obscure an activated text field's flashing pointer or insertion indicator. For this reason, it's recommended that you disable the focus rectangle (by setting _focusRect to false) and use a custom focus indicator. For an example of an application that uses a custom focus indicator, see the Flash Lite Samples and Tutorials page at www.adobe.com/go/learn_flt_samples_and_tutorials. Locate the ZIP file for your version of ActionScript, download and decompress the ZIP file, and then navigate to the Samples folder to access the sample.
