When on i-pad the user clicks on the input text the cursor goes below the sprite where the input text lives.
Once they are finished typing the input text goes where it is supposed. Has anyone encountered this issue?
I believe this is a known issue with AS3 and iPads and has been around for a while. I've certainly experienced the issue you're describing. Not much more I can add apart from you can try using StageText instead of AS3's default text system and as far as I can tell the issue isn't there. Hope this helps

I'm sorry since English is not my first language : and since I can't even describe what's going on in my native language, this is going to be complicated.
I'm coding a website and everything was ok so far. But at some point, I attached a link to an image and used hover in css so the picture "shines" when the cursor is on it. The only problem I have is that, when the mouse is on the picture it kinda "panics?" and starts to changing from normal mouse to the pointing finger really quickly. I also struggle to be able to click on the picture when this happens. (I'm on macOS Monterey 12.2 btw)
Since I know I explained that terribly, here's a YT Video showing my problem.
Thank you and sorry again for the whacky English.
Edit 1: Ok so I'm using Brave Browser, and this problem doesn't happen on Safari when I tried it on there, so I really don't know if it's my browser being weird and if I can fix this in any way
Hey I'm wondering if anybody else is having this issue or could suggest a hack? Whenever I get too much going, like too many clips on the stage, then too many TweenMax tweens, my TextField objects will start flickering, sorta like they are rendering over and over again. It looks terrible and I'm wondering if there is some known workaround? It only seems to happen with the text, so I'm wondering if I could somehow render it as a bitmap after drawing it the first time?
This was happening earlier if I would fire off too many tweens at the same time. Now it's happening because I added filters to the containing object. Seems like if things get too intensive then the text fields start flickering. Tested this on both Mac Air and Mac Pro. Suggestions?
You could try setting cacheAsBitmap on your TextFields.

There are a few threads (like this one http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?345755-TextField-with-CSS-and-cacheAsBitmap) suggesting that CSS formatting and embedded fonts get a little messed up, so you may have to experiment with the order in which you add things, set their formatting, and cache them.
quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.
It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.
I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
Any idea what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field. I can select text in this text field as well, so I'm a bit confused :<
Thanks for your help.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.
I'm not entirely sure about the layout and the behavior of the project, but from my own bitter experience with TextEvents I learned that the less you mess around with the textfield, the better.
Maybe you should consider hiding the textfield instead of adding/removing it, i.e. changing the way the UI works without actually touching the affected elements in any way whatsoever.
If that's not possible, I'd try "rewriting" the text in the field and reattaching the event listener once the object is made visible again.
Hope you solve it quickly, texts are a pain in Flash.
When I click on web page the cursor start blinking and adjust its height according to table size. I want to stop that blinking. Is there any solution ?
Here’s the correct answer if not late though, It’s called caret browsing hit F7 to turn off simple as that
May be you have turned on your Caret Browsing, press f7 to get rid of it
I'm fairly sure there is no way to influence the blinking behaviour of the text cursor. This is entirely up to the browser and the operating system.
Here is a (very kludgy IMO) approach to hiding the text cursor altogether: Hide textfield blinking cursor
I have a simple textarea which works in all browsers i.e. I can click inside it and type.
But I can't do this with IE6! I am however, able to press the tab key until I get to the textarea and then I can type in it. But I cannot click it.
What a strange quirk? Anyone know what the hell is going on?!
The source of my form can been found here.
Thanks all for any help
Update
Here is the CSS. Nothing jumps out at me.
Update 2
Annoying, I have narrowed down the problem to this line:
background-image:url(../../images/checkout_fuzzy.png);
I use this setup for all my sites pages, but this is the first page that has text areas in it so I guess that might be the reason why it doesn't like the above. What possible could I change the above to so that it doesn't overlay the textarea.
Solved
A position:relative on the containing div solved my IE6 problem! The problem was that the text area was not clickable due to something (div) covering the textareas as identified by Chris.
I don't know what's going on but I have some thoughts that may or may not be the problem. I would hazard a guess that it might be stylesheet related. Its possible in HTML to have something invisible in front of a form element that stops it receiving a click but I would think that wouldn't stop the input getting tabbed to.
To test if this is the case see if you get the same problem if you don't reference your stylesheet at all. If this allows you to click its something to do with your CSS/layout. If you still can't click then I'd probably try turning javascript off on your browser and seeing what difference that makes...
The HTML looks totally fine to me at a glance but I of course can't see what your CSS and/or javascript might be doing on the page. Best of luck. :)
Not 100% sure if this will fix it, but try setting the 'cols' attribute in the textarea.
Here's an example.
<textarea rows="2" cols="20"></textarea>
IE6 can be a bit fidgety if it doesn't get what it expects.
I don't have a copy of ie6 handy but I do know that ie6 can get real funky with absolute and relative positioning. try commenting out your absolutely and relatively positioned CSS styles and see if any of them are covering your form.
