Not within a single FocusManagerContainer, but if you have tiled the screen with non-modal popups that can't be dragged around, I don't see how your user will know the difference. You don't have to popup panels to do this.

Tab Loops redux Alex: Neither of these options are practical in the real world (at least my world) since we have over 135 modules currently, and up to 10 can be loaded at any one time. We cannot have the cursor willy nilly hopping from module to module going to panels that are partially obscured by other panels, etc. Does the mx.managers.FocusManager allow the ability to establish multiple tab loops within a single application? If so, how can this be used to define a tab loop for a single container? If not, is there anything that will allow defining a tab loop for a container? With multiple tab loops available on the stage at one time. The user can use the mouse to jump from module to module.
