    Need to set focus for TextField

    Hi Gideros,

    I have a small problem. I am using a virtual keyboard. Values entered from keyboard shown in a text-field. But when i type, the cursor will not show inside the text box. Is there any property or option to set the cursor. Please let me know how to do that ASAP. That will be a great help for me to complete my game.

    Thanks ,

      ah, I see
      and by text box you mean TextField object, right?
      Well TextField was meant to render text, not to input it, so it won't behave as natural text box, but you could always emulate it, like adding an image that would represent the cursor, and then simply animate it using GTween:
      local cursor = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("cursor_image.png", true))
cursor:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
cursor:setPosition(text:getWidth() + 10, 5)
text:addChild(cursor)
local tween1 = GTween.new(cursor, 0.4, {alpha=0})
local tween2 = GTween.new(cursor, 0.4, {alpha=1}, {autoPlay = false})
tween1.nextTween = tween2
tween2.nextTween = tween1
      and then when entering text, you will need to reset the position of the cursor position
      cursor:setX(text:getWidth() + 10)

      Speaking of entering text, is Gideros 2.0 likely to facilitate direct access to native iOS/Android user-editable text fields (without needing BhWax or JavaBridge)?

      (By the way, will Gideros 2.0 be released in 2014?)
