Methods inherited from class Object
addListener (Selection.addListener method)
public static addListener(listener:Object) : Void
Registers an object to receive keyboard focus change notifications. When the focus changes
(for example, whenever the Selection.setFocus() method is invoked), all listening objects
registered with addListener() have their onSetFocus() method invoked. Multiple objects
can listen for focus change notifications. If the specified listener is already registered, no
change occurs.
Parameters
listener:Object - A new object with an onSetFocus method.
Example
In the following example, you create two input text fields at runtime, setting the borders for
each text field to true. This code creates a new (generic) ActionScript object named
focusListener. This object defines for itself an onSetFocus property, to which it assigns a
function. The function takes two parameters: a reference to the text field that lost focus, and
one to the text field that gained focus. The function sets the border property of the text field
that lost focus to false, and sets the border property of the text field that gained focus to
true:
this.createTextField("one_txt", 99, 10, 10, 200, 20);
this.createTextField("two_txt", 100, 10, 50, 200, 20);

Gives focus to the selectable (editable) text field,
button, or movie clip, that the newFocus parameter
specifies.
Sets the selection span of the currently focused
text field.
