Yeah, this one was a bit annoying… Here is what I had to do to get it working. I had to set the tabChilden property to true in your custom component, override the setFocus method, and implement the IFocusManagerComponent interface. This is only if your component is a pure AS component. I found the mxml components tabbed fine. One side note: There still seems to be some really weird tabbing issues when tabbing out of the component. Sometimes when you tab out of the component, it tabs back to the beginning of the form. Just some weird things, I didn’t have a chance to trace it down though. I’ll see if I can get some time to fix that. I included the source to a time picker component that I built If you need something to reference (it’s not perfect, but it should illustrate the solution).

I have the same problem and don't have a solution yet.
If I extend the UIComponent , shouldn't all the focus aspects work by
default? The documentation specifies that focus is enabled by
default. But it doesn't . If I try to use setFocus in a mouse event ,
focusEvents are not received by my component. Is there something that
I must do and it is not specified in the documentation to have
focusing work(mouse click , tab ,focus events)? Thank you.
