I am trying to get a certain text field to have a flashing cursor when page is loaded or refreshed. Like Google, when you first get there, the input box is blinking.
It's simple I've seen it before, but I can't remember and I have no idea how to look for it.
Anybody know??

Say the var you have set for the textfield is called test and this textfield is in the main timeline you would place this in the main timeline.
Code: [ Select ]
_root.onLoad = function(){
    Selection.setFocus("_root.test");
}
  1. _root.onLoad = function(){
  2.     Selection.setFocus("_root.test");
  3. }


If the textfield is in a movieclip named container you would place this instead.
Code: [ Select ]
_root.onLoad = function(){
    Selection.setFocus("_root.container.test");
}
  1. _root.onLoad = function(){
  2.     Selection.setFocus("_root.container.test");
  3. }

NOTE: The Selection keyword must stay in place.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

Thanks Joebert,
Almost there. The cursor now appears to blink in the correct box upon load, but ONLY if:
I click the swf anywhere with the mouse while it is loading in the browser;
I hit the tab key while it is loading in the browser;
or test movie within flash only.
The browser seems to take the focus away from the swf if you goto the address or refresh.
This is on Mac MIE 5 or Safari on OSX.
Thanks again!
