You may not able to type non-English character into the text input of the flex application by using non-IE browsers.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

id="flashapp" width="100%" height="500"

codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">

<param name="movie" value="teacher.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7" />

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

<embed src="teacher.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#869ca7"

width="100%" height="500" name="flashapp" align="middle"

play="true"

loop="false"

quality="high"

allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"

wmode="opaque"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">

</embed>

</object>

To solve this issue, you can simply remove the wmode paramater. And you can type Chinese normally.

However, in Text control, the cursor will not change to hand even you set the selectable = false. The tricky thing is that we have to set its mouseChildren to false also.

<mx:Text useHandCursor=”true” buttonMode=”true” mouseChildren=”false” />

mouseChildren - Determines whether or not the children of the object are mouse enabled. If an object is mouse enabled, a user can interact with it by using a mouse. The default is true.

It mentions the logic and lifecycle how the flex / flash runs.

Instead, we can add the “-use-network=false” parameter to the compiler option of the flex project to avoid such error.

However, the application cannot access Internet resources anymore once we add this parameter. Another security error will be prompted in this case.
