I would break it down to an AS-only test where you set focus to a Sprite and see if you get the keyboard.
Which version of player are you using? Is metro officially supported?

I set up a little test inside of windows 8 metro where traced out all the events for both a normal textInput and a textInput with displayAsPassword="true" and they are firing identical events. The one with displayAsPassword="true" invokes the keyboard perfectly everytime. I've also extended the RichEditableText class and overwritten some of the methods that are dependant on the displayAsPassword flag to see if that makes any difference but no luck.

I'm guessing that MS are doing some kind of event detection which invokes the onscreen keyboard but that they didn't do the same thing for flex text inputs. I've also checked it seems that one cannot invoke the keyboard manually with javascript. Has anyone run into this problem before and found a solution? I've also noticed that it DOES bring up the keyboard if you have set displayAsPassword="true" for some reason. Has anyone got any idea why this is happening and how I can work around/solve it?
