Hi All.
So recently we just switched away from using MouseEvents to TouchEvents when we target iOS due to performance (found out about that from this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5346703#5346703). But this lead to a bug with TextFields that are set to TextFieldType.INPUT.
I narrowed it down to Multitouch.mapTouchToMouse = false. Setting this to false will no longer allow you to touch/tap on a text field and bring up the iOS keyboard. I also set the text field's "needsSoftKeyboard" to true but that did not fix the issue (it was suggested in a few other threads). Once I set Multitouch.mapTouchToMouse to true, everything works fine again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or knows how to fix it? Is this a bug?
I do have a work around right now, but not ideal. I add an event listener on my text field for TOUCH_TAP. In the callback, set the stage.focus = textField and then textField.requestSoftKeyboard(). Then I add an almost invisible overlay to the stage to act as a click shield so that anytime the screen is tapped, I set stage.focus = null and remove that overlay click shield. Again, its not ideal but is a work around for it.
Thanks
