FlashLite navigation problems!

[jappit]

Hi,

I'm building some slightly complex menus with many focusable elements. The problem is that Flash doesn't handle focus in the proper way, "jumping" elements and other odd things. I searched for a simple custom way to implement focus management, but haven't found any clear example.

I tried with Key listeners, but I was unable to prevent Flash to move focus with its default behaviour (so as a result I had my focus management + Flash default focus management handling keypress events together... a mess )

Maybe someone has some hints?

Thanks!!

Well, I have worked on custom menu + focus system, and I'm already planning to share my experience in this area. But it might a bit.

All I can suggest you to take a look at www.orison.biz/demo/tango/

Open this in your FL2.x enabled mobile browser. And play with the navigation. It looks a bit complex, but the way I implemented, it was very simple to work with. Atleast for me

You can try and decompile the swf if you like (just to take a look). I will try to post somthing about it soon.

Ciao,

Hi chall3ng3r,

would it be possible to have some hints on how to implement a custom focus management that can override (so, not work side-by-side with) default Flash Lite focus management?

I took a look at your demo, and it's really impressive!

Thanks a lot,
Pit
