screen2
subscreen1_2
If myUIButton has focus, the leafmost screen containing the focus is subscreen1_1, which is
what
currentFocusedScreen would return. In this case, presentation, screen1, and
subscreen1_1 all contain the focus but the one that is “closest” (in the screen hierarchy) to the
leaves of the tree (that is, farthest away from the root) is
subscreen1_1.
Example
The following example displays the name of the currently focused screen in the Output panel.
var currentFocus:mx.screens.Screen = mx.screens.Screen.currentFocusedScreen;
trace("Current screen is: " + currentFocus._name);
