In RC1 of Air3.0 and earlier versions of air, I could summon the softkeyboard for the iPhone/iPad by doing this.
Create an inputtext field, set it's width and height to 0 to hide it
Then, when I want to show the soft keyboard, simply do:
stage.focus = txtCapture;
Where txtCapture is my input text field. When I wanted to hide it, I would simply set the stage.focus to any other object.
This worked great until 3.0 was offically released and now the softkeyboard does not appear on the set focus, it ONLY appears if you manually click on the input field itself, but since you can't use center alignment or any other formatting on input text fields for the iOS, I can't let it be seen
Anyone have any idea how I can get the softkeyboard to appear?
