Though I'm not sure whether or not it's been fixed with Flash 8, with 2004 MX, tabbing was an absolute nightmare. It didn't work properly in anything but absolutely simple scenarios.

You can view the file here: http://132.162.36.103/albert/MUTH/ The problem is that, though I am confident that I have properly indexed all of the objects, the tabbing does not follow the index I provided. For instance, on the first page of the actual exam (this is a placement exam for a Music Theory course) the first question follows the index properly. The second question, however, insists on going across rather than down first. The similar problems occur on question 4 where the second part of the answer is selected, then the first. All of the objects that I have placed in the index are editable objects, and they all seem to get selected, just not according to the index I layed out. The only oddity is the "Submit" button which is a single object which exists across all of the frames. I dealt with this by just giving it the highest index on any frame in the hope that it would just work. I didn't see anything in the documentation which would suggest that this won't work, though I'm not really holding my breath. All other objects are in their frame alone and do not last across frames (or layers for that matter). Any suggestions would be appreciated... I'm wondering if there is some global setting I don't have on to use the tabIndex?? Didn't see anything in the documentation suggesting that, but thought it was possible.
