[Action Script] solution: textField blinking carot disappears May,2012

Hi,

logging this issue to save the next googler 30 minutes of effort.

Has your textField no blinking carot? This is why:
myTextField.selectable=false;

I had used a listener when the cursor was clicked on the textField and myTextField.stage.focus=myTextField to allow the user to write in the textfield, but there was no cursor which was baffling.

Specifying myTextField.selectable=true solved the problem. Not sure why I had it disabled in the first place!

Cheers,
Andy.
