Hi there,

In Flash Builder 4.6 while creating a flex mobile application in landscape mode, i have a textinput that is covered by the virtual keyboard when the user taps on it, so that the user is tapping 'blindly'. Is there any way for me to get the application to shift upwards as the keyboard is active so that the user can see the keyboard, and when the keyboard is disabled, the application returns to its initial state?

please refer to diagram below

Also, selecting the type of keyboard in flex (number, email, etc.) does not appear to be working. help?

thanks.

check the following in app.xml:

<!-- Whether or not to pan when a soft keyboard is raised or lowered (either "pan" or "none").  Optional.  Defaults "pan." -->
<!-- <softKeyboardBehavior></softKeyboardBehavior> -->

 On the simulator, I still cannot get the keyboard to automatically pop when the TextInput get focus...

Use

<!-- Whether or not to pan when a soft keyboard is raised or lowered (either "pan" or "none").  Optional.  Defaults "pan." -->
<softKeyboardBehavior>pan</softKeyboardBehavior>

I tried softKeyboardBehavior but it returns a problem when trying to launch:

"Error occurred while packaging the application:

Packaging failed:1

...

error 103:

application.initialWindow.softKeyboardBehavior is an

unexpected element/attribute

Error: AIR validation failed"

Help???
