Focus lost when pressing ALT key

Hi,
is there any way to prevent the focus to be lost when pressing ALT key in an AIR app??
I tried event.preventDefault() in KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN events but it doesn't work
when the user press the ALT key, the stage loses the focus
thanks

I am now having trouble with the same issue. I have tried removing the ALT key from the Input Map from my frame and the component I'm having trouble with. I have also tried setting my own action in the action map for this. We also tried listening for the key pressed event and putting focus back to the combobox where I want focus to remain. I am now working on trying to use the processKeyEvent method to handle this, but have not had any luck as of yet with that. If anyone has some help on this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

  • Winxp is gone when pressing option key at startup, "no bootable device"

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to mac and recently bought a MBP.
    I did bootcamp and installed windows xp and SP3 at the same time in a small partition, I remember it was 8gb.
    I had no problem booting in to xp or mac after the installation, I can even press option and see both OS.
    But now I cannot boot to windows, at startup while pressing the option key, I only see mac os and not windows. I also tried rebooting from the startup disk utility, but it has a black screen saying "no bootable disk found." It wants me to insert a bootable disk, so I inserted the window xp disk and has to force restart the laptop. Then it started a process like trying to load the files to reinstall win xp, of course I didn't let it.
    Now when I went back to disk utilities I see that the winxp partition is 9.2gb, it was 8gb when I made it.
    Recently I split my mac partition into 2, I tried to do the time machine back up, but then it takes too long so I canceled it and deleted the partition. I wonder if this affects my window xp partition.
    Now I cannot see winxp when pressing option key at startup, but can see it in startup disk utility, and disk utility. When I boot from startup disk utility, it shows "no bootable device, insert cd, and press anykey..." I tried verifying and repairing the parition in disk utility, didn't work.
    So this is all I did before I cannot boot into xp.
    1. made new partition for winxp (formated partition as FAT)in bootcamp and installed winxp + sp3. everything was fine.
    2. create another partition, and call it "data" <-want to create this for data only, while the other half is for software installation only.
    3. create another partition for time machine, but when running time machine it says the partition is too small, so I delete it and make the partition bigger.then I run time machine, but since it takes way too long, I canceled it, and deleted the partition.
    4. in winxp, had installed kapersky anti-virus 9.0
    Now, I have 3 partitions: 1 for software installation, 1 for data, and 1 for winxp.
    So why can't I boot to windows? Did things overwrite? Please help me, I'm so frustrated. Thank you.

    Thanks fortuny,
    I had read the link you suggested. And since my partition for windows is FAT32, as noted in the website, I can edit the boot.ini directly in my mac. In my mac, it already shows that the partition # is 3,
    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN/fastdect
    but my window os is not booting.
    Like the link noted, "it crashes with the "I'm sorry, we couldn't start up Windows. Do you want to start in Safe Mode?" screen. You'll also see a flicker of the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH, which flashes an UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME error so quickly you won't have a chance to read it. This was the hint that the BOOT.INI entries were incorrect..."
    According to the boot.ini in the site, my boot.ini file was already set up correctly, so why can't windows startup?
    Also something I don't understand from this:
    "NOTES: If you didn't follow the instructions and chose to PARTITION the existing volume instead of RESIZING then ADDING a partition, this appears to mess up BootCamp's boot loader and you may have to start again. Step 3, however, may offer you a way out."
    When I did the 3rd partition, I did it in Disk Utility in mac, not from the mac os cd, and I split the mac partition into 2, I didn't do the "resizing," then using the unused space to make new partition... I wonder if this is causing the normal booting...
    So do I start again by deleting my data partition or start from reinstalling windows? If the problem can be fixed without installing windows, of course, it would be great.

  • When pressing ALT while booting the boot menu does not appear

    Hi,
    as described above I cannot get into the boot menu of my imac.
    I press ALT as soon as the sound appears but nothing happens. In fact the screen stays white and OS is not booted.
    I have tried that with different devices: USB-stick and CD/DVD. Same result. And I have seen the USB-stick working on my MBP.
    I have absolutely no idea why this happens. I have already pluged out all network and usb devices but to no avail.
    Somebody an idea how to fix this?
    Being a Windows-user most of the time I have no idea how to get this done. Appreciate your suggestions.

    You need to press the Option key when restarting.

  • Boot Camp partition not showing in startup disk or when holding alt key

    I've read countless discussions about similar questions to this one, however, I still haven't been able to find any solution.
    I have an old 2006 MacBook that has just been fully updated and reformatted. I'm running OSX 10.7.5 and Boot Camp 4.
    I went through the Boot Camp installation from an Windows ISO image in my usb drive, where it succesfully downloaded all files needed, and prompted me to make the partition, after which it restarted and was supposed to take me to the installation manager in the Windows partition. I first got the "No bootable driver" error, to which I read I was supposed to restart the computer, hold the alt key, and choose the boot camp partition. However, it does not show up. I only get Mac and Recover drivers.
    I went into the Mac's startup disk, and only the Mac driver is showing, no Boot Camp driver, however, when I go into Disk Utilities, I can see that the BootCamp driver there.
    I read somewhere that I should zap pram and reset SMC, which I did with their instructions. It didn't change anything, I still only get the Mac driver and Recovery when hitting the alt key.
    Does it have something to do with my MacBook being older? That's the only reason I can think that would not allow me to do this.
    Let me know what other info I can give you so that you can please help me!! Thanks in advance!

    In last resort I solved my missing BOOTCAMP partition problem using a program called: iPartition from coriolis systems located in the United Kingdom http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php it took me a coupleof days to figure out the credit card system they have Hint: use your 9 digit zip code to find your credit card address and call your bank if you have an overseas hold on the card!!!! The program found my missing BOOTCAMP partition and restored it. It did take a couple of e-mails to learn to use their program. Let me know how you turn out!

    I'm confused
    I took this to mean that your DID have an install disk.
    By holding down the "C" key, you are booting to the install CD.
    Alternatively, you can hold down the "option" key, to select which drive to which you want to boot.

  • How can i select the next column instead of next row when press enter key

    I need to know how can i select the next column instead of next row when i press the enter key.By default ,when i press enter key the next row is selected and the column remain unchanged but I wants opposite that is the row should remain unchanged but column index will changed.
    Thanks to all.

    Well, the right arrow key will already move you to the next column, so the easiest way to do this is to modify the InputMap to have the Enter key invoke the same Action as the right arrow key.
    You can search the forum for my "Table Actions" (without the space) example that will show you how to do this.

  • Nothing happens when holding 'alt' key on boot-up.

    When I try to start my MacBook by holding the 'alt' key, all I see is the mouse cursor and it just stays on that screen.  I can move the mouse cursor around but nothing happens.

    Hello e-zero
    Start with resetting your NVRAM on your MacBook and then hold Option or Alt key to see if the Startup Manager comes up. If not , go over the troubleshooting in the third article to help isolate and resolve the issue.

    Just an advise
    On it's first time fully charge and discharge - vice versa for three times. After that don’t drain your battery every day to 10-20% of its charge. You can actually expect battery problems by draining the battery frequently.
    Roughly every 30 charges, deliberately discharge your battery to 10-15%, and fully charge to 100% afterwards.
    This will help maintain the accuracy of the “fuel gauge” on the device (your battery meter or scale). It has nothing to do with the battery memory but helps maintain the accuracy of the device’s percentage of battery charge left.
    Good luck

  • Focus lost when a popup menu is activated...

    It seems that when a popup menu is activated the component invoker lost focus. this is ugly because a focus lost can trigger unexpected events (formatting, validating, etc). how can I avoid this?
    thanx

    I must seem a bit weird being the only one to reply to my posts, but I found what is occuring, is that when I do the mouse click the InputVerifier for that JTextField is firing. This is causing a problem, because this input verifier pops up a dialog saying please enter correct values ... and then highlights the entire text field. Problem is if the input is currently invalid I can't use the mouse.
    Any ideas?

  • N95-1 turns off when press any key

    Any ideas?

  • Lost 'mask' (using alt key) in exposure and sharpening?

    The black or white 'mask' by using the alt key in exposure adjustments AND the 'mask' while adjusting amount, detail and unsharp mask in sharpening is missing for me.  The only difference I can think of is that LR  is now on a new notebook (ASUS) and am now working with Windows 7 64-bit.  Is there something I can do to re-gain those helpful masks?  Any idea what happened?  I'm in the middle of nowhere and don't have a lot of wireless time to research . . . Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Joia

    Well guys, everything checks out good - specs are fine and both alt keys work.  The touchpad is, however, a big problem and seems to be the culprit.  It switches between being hypersensitive (giving me only a quick flash of the mask) or unresponsive (the sliders do not move at all).
    We plugged in a mouse and I now have control of both the masks and sliders.
    Thanks again for responding - otherwise I probably would have given up for now while we're on the road - got a lot of work to do.  Cheers!  Joia
