Autocomplete on phone - AS3 - ios

Question

I've made an autocomplete that work very well in the swf file.
very simple, when the user write the first letter, a suggestion is made with words.
I've published my project for IOS.
When I'm trying it on the Iphone, nothing is suggested when I'm typing the first letter.
I have to write the first letter and then clicked on "enter" in order to display the suggestions...
I don't want the users to "validate" in order to have the suggestion but simply by typing a letter.
Do you know what could be the problem ? Anyone can help me ?
Weirdly, I've tried on an Android device, and it's working perfectly well ! (like my swf).
Here is my code :
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("test.txt"));
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
inputField.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, suggest);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void
{
suggestions = e.target.data.split(",");
}
function suggest(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
suggested = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < textfields.length; i++)
{
removeChild(textfields[i]);
}
textfields = [];
for (var j:int = 0; j < suggestions.length; j++)
{
if (suggestions[j].indexOf(inputField.text.toLowerCase()) == 0)
{
var term:TextField = new TextField();
term.width = 300;
term.height = 20;
term.x = 70;
term.y = (20 * suggested.length) + 314;
term.border = true;
term.borderColor = 0x353535;
term.background = true;
term.backgroundColor = 0xFF9900;
term.textColor = 0x4C311D;
term.defaultTextFormat = format;
term.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, useWord);
term.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover);
term.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, out);
term.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tellMe);
addChild(term);
textfields.push(term);
suggested.push(suggestions[j]);
term.text = suggestions[j];
}
}
if (inputField.length == 0)
{
suggested = [];
for (var k:int = 0; k < textfields.length; k++)
{
removeChild(textfields[k]);
}
textfields = [];
}
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN && currentSelection < textfields.length-1)
{
currentSelection++;
textfields[currentSelection].textColor = 0x4C311D;
}
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.UP && currentSelection > 0)
{
currentSelection--;
textfields[currentSelection].textColor = 0x4C311D;
}
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)
{
inputField.text = textfields[currentSelection].text;
suggested = [];
for (var l:int = 0; l < textfields.length; l++)
{
removeChild(textfields[l]);
}
textfields = [];
currentSelection = 0;
}
}
function useWord(e:MouseEvent):void
{
inputField.text = e.target.text;
suggested = [];
for (var i:int = 0; i < textfields.length; i++)
{
removeChild(textfields[i]);
}
textfields = [];
}
Thank you
EDIT
Here's my new code with Stagetext
var myTextField:StageText = new StageText();
var stageTextInitOptions:StageTextInitOptions;
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var suggestions:Array = new Array();
var suggested:Array = new Array();
var textfields:Array = new Array();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var currentSelection:int = -1;
var searchChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
myTextField.returnKeyLabel = ReturnKeyLabel.SEARCH;
myTextField.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, suggest);
stageTextInitOptions = new StageTextInitOptions(false);
myTextField = new StageText(stageTextInitOptions);
myTextField.softKeyboardType = SoftKeyboardType.DEFAULT;
myTextField.returnKeyLabel = ReturnKeyLabel.DONE;
myTextField.autoCorrect = true;
myTextField.fontSize = 20;
myTextField.color = 0x000000;
myTextField.fontWeight = "bold";
myTextField.stage = this.stage;
myTextField.viewPort = new Rectangle(25, 108, stage.stageWidth-40, 28);
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("Sports2.txt"));
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
myTextField.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, suggest);

KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT doesn't really works at iOS. KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN is dispatching only on some keys. I saw only key "Enter".
