4.6 Mobile iOS SoftKeyboard Hiding

Question

Hey everyone,
So i'm new to not only this community but also Flex programming. I'm working on a app project at my work using FB. My question is, about the Softkeyboard still coming up even thougtht the event was canceled.We were recently using FB 4.5 and the following Textinput would call up a custom keyboard that we made and prevent the softkeyboard from coming up:
<s:TextInput width="175" id="txtICDOB"  restrict="0-9 /" maxChars="10" softKeyboardActivating="preventActivate(event)"/>
   private function preventActivate(event:SoftKeyboardEvent):void
    event.preventDefault();
    numericPad.buttonsHolder.visible = true;
    numericPad.buttonsHolder.addEventListener(FlexEvent.HIDE, resizeScreen);
    scrollbar.percentHeight = 75;
We recently upgraded to 4.6 and the event.preventDefault(); no longer works. Now both the custom numericPad and softkeyboad pop up and i can't seem to figure out why even.preventDefault(); no long works. Any help would be appreciated.
    <s:TextInput width="175" id="txtICDOB"  returnKeyLabel="next" enter="changeField(txtICAddress)" restrict="0-9 /" maxChars="10" softKeyboardActivating="preventActivate(event)"/>
private function preventActivate(event:SoftKeyboardEvent):void
event.preventDefault();
numericPad.buttonsHolder.visible = true;
numericPad.buttonsHolder.addEventListener(FlexEvent.HIDE, resizeScreen);
scrollbar.percentHeight = 75;

For textinput in Flash Builder 4.6, you should change skinclass like below to use  event.preventDefault(); code. I had this problem and solved by this way.
skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin"
Hope this will help you.
