In my base popup class I have the following code (simplified):
public firstTab:*;
this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, registerFirstTab);
private function registerFirstTab(event:FlexEvent):void
{
firstTab.setFocus();
this.removeEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,
registerFirstTab);
}
Implementation is responsible to populate firstTab with an object it wants
to have a focus on.
