Currently in the framework, you cannot tab through components like Label, Text and Image. They will not respond with a focus highlight which other controls, like a Button, do. Try your same test case with a Button and you'll see that the controls respond to tabbing in the order specified by tabIndex.

I have created a custom class that extends HBox. I have chosen a container rather than a list to extend from, because I do not want a fixed column width for items. I have tried various test cases to implement tabbing though a container's children with no luck. Ultimately I want to build a custom class that extends a container and dynamically adds child UI-items that can be tabbed through. Alternatively, is there a way to allow for dynamic column sizes for items within a list? Code: <mx:Canvas tabChildren="true"> <mx:Label text="1." /> <mx:Label text="A" tabIndex="0" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:Label text="B" tabIndex="1" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:Label text="2." /> <mx:Label text="C" tabIndex="2" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:Label text="D" tabIndex="3" tabEnabled="true" /> </mx:Canvas> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
