Your question is a bit unclear. Is [this](http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2011/12/15/setting-focus-in-flex-components) what you mean? — RIAstar, Dec 27 '11 at 21:14

The issue is that within your application the TextInput has focus, but within the HTML page your Flex application does not. So basically the only extra step you need is to give the Flex app focus. There's only one way to achieve this: through JavaScript. And you should do it after the application was loaded.

The guys at Farrata wrote a very good example on how to do this, so I'm just going to point you there: http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/2011/12/15/setting-focus-in-flex-components
