IN FLASH AS3 MOBILE APP - how to make soft keyboard show only numbers or for email?

Question

I am making a mobile app with adobe air 3.9 and in the registration form, I wish to make email text-field have a keyboard or soft-keyboard type as email (i.e. having a button for ".com" and "@" in the soft-keyboard)and age to have numbers only.

I see some helps around but none gets me a clear idea.

Can anyone help me with a quick tutorial or a code snippet.

Thanks Saurabh

Use NativeText, look here for the great article: http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2011/09/native-text-input-with-stagetext.html

Answer 2

here's a tutorial

Just be aware there are two SkinClasses for TextInput and TextArea, MobileSkin and StageSkin. StageSkin can control the softkeyboard, but has scaling issues. MobileSkin can't control the softkeyborad, but doesn't have scaling issues. Follow this bug and related issues for more info about that.
