Dont' use TextFields; use a TextInput or TextArea and style accordingly. They have built-in focus & tab management just like buttons.
----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Kirkham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 12:56 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem with TextField.tabIndex I have a very simple Flash 8 movie with two (UI component) buttons and two input TextFields on the stage. Automatic tabbing works fine, but if I try to change the tab order by setting tabIndex on the four objects, thus... Button1.tabIndex = 4; text1.tabIndex = 3; text2.tabIndex = 2; Button2.tabIndex = 1; ...tabbing only works on the buttons and omits the text fields. Thus it seems that setting tabIndex on any MovieClip-based instance will disable tabbing on TextFields, even when the TextFields have tabIndex set. Can anyone suggest how to remedy this?
