BUG: Focusmanager and ErrorInputFields? in as 8

Focusmanager combined with errorinputfield did not work in flash 8

found out that the present Inputfield's (errorInputField instance) onKillFocus was fired when the tab key was pressed. therefore the focus was lost, and focusmanager's checkFOcus() returned -1, effectively blocking the sequence where the next field is selected.

the test case code is a hack in Focusmanager.as where I manually call onChangeTextFocus on the old instance after setFocus is called on the new instance. I also needed to comment out the onKillFocus functionality in InputField? .as

due to some limited time i cannot make a good test case, but it happend in flash 8 authoring tool and in an online enviroment (embedded in html)

Test case

private function changeFocus ( inPrevFocus:Number, inNewFocus:Number ) : Void {

Console.INFO("changeFocus

" + arguments); // store new focus mFocusIndex = inNewFocus;

// yes, change focus IFocus(mFocusList[mFocusIndex]).setFocus();

//[:ROLF:] hack for interference with InputField? (the default onKillFocus interfered with the focusmanager) //seems it was executed when a tab key was pressed. the focus was set to false and the focusmanager returned -1 for checkFocus //flash 8 mFocusList[inPrevFocus].onChangeTextFocus(false);//not typecasted becuase interface doesn't implement onChangeTextFocus

// dispatch onChangeFocus event dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent? (FocusEvent? .ON_CHANGE_FOCUS, this, mFocusList[inPrevFocus], mFocusList[mFocusIndex])); }
