Need help creating a cursor effect.

Question

I'm working on a little project that's like a text-based adventure, but played on a tumblr, so the readers submit their siggestions for actions.
I'm looking to create animations for each post, so that it looks like the reader is typing in the text on the "game."
I have the text-generation effect down using this code:
var myString:String = "text data goes here.";
var myArray:Array = myString.split("");
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameLooper);
function frameLooper(event:Event):void
          if(myArray.length > 0)
                    tf.appendText(myArray.shift());
          else
                    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameLooper);
//code sporked from Adam Khoury's Flash Typing Text Effect Tutorial video
So that runs okay, but after that is done, I want there to be a final > prompt followed by a flashing cursor,as if asking for input.
If anyone has a suggestion, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

There's not much need to show anymore.  I already provided the code you can try to get a blinking cursor, but also said how it is iffy as far as it actually working. 
The only difference I would offer for the code I provided earlier based on the image you show would be to add a new line before the ">", as in...
     removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameLooper);
     tf.appendText("\n>");
     stage.focus = tf;
     tf.setSelection(tf.text.length,tf.text.length);  // in an ideal world this line, in league with the focus line preceding it will add the cursor... it just doesn't always work as advertised... especially for me
