TextField input not working

I am working on a class similar to the standard text field. I actually use the default TextField inside it. My only problem is that the textField does not work correctly. If I set it to textField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT, I can delete the text, but I can't enter new text. Also, the cursor is not being displayed. This is my Class (part of it): http://pastebin.com/LsgQjxpa

The skin is like this: http://pastebin.com/yDhEGHLm

I can't figure out what exactly I am doing wrong. I also have to mention that I am compiling for AIR Mobile and testing directly from Flash Builder

One problem appears to be that you have set the selectable property to false. This makes sense when type is TextFieldType.DYNAMIC. However, it's problematic when the type is TextFieldType.INPUT.

When you disable selection of the text, no cursor is displayed. I am able to still edit the text. However, since the cursor is not visible I cannot change it's position and the text gets added in front of any existing text.
