Flash AIR input text clears value after IOS keyboard is dismissed

Question

I have an AIR for IOS app that has some text input fields. The UI is created in Flash Pro and export a swc file for the AIR / Flex app to use.

On IOS If I select the input field the IOS keyboard launches just fine but then when I dismiss the keyboard any text that I enter is cleared from that input field.

Answer 1

Assuming this is a TextInput, set the skinClass style to spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin. This has been an issue with that component since Flex 4.6 and is fixed by using the mobile skin.
