look in the source code than parsing the documentation. I have been trough the
flex getting started , flex developer's guide, developing flex application documentations and I
now have a general ideea about Flex , I have imagined going trough the API's is enough. A lot of custom components
require focus , I dont't think it is an advanced topic. If you think about it , the UIComponent class documentation really gives you the impression focus is enabled by default . At least a note should be added there imho.
Anyhow , your note is usefull for the next steps in my application , I now have an answer to my question , thanks .

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: tabbing in flex
There is some mention of implementing IFocusManager in the doc. In the
Creating Components book when describing how to implement AS components:
http://livedocs. macromedia. com/flex/ 2/docs/00001727. html
And an example in the doc on creating item editors:
http://livedocs. macromedia. com/flex/ 2/docs/00000863. html
But it probably deserves a section on its own. We should be able to
add something for the next release.

The effort to have focus is minimal, but i didn't see anywhere

get it working. I had to set the tabChilden property to true in your
custom component, override the setFocus method, and implement the
IFocusManagerCompon ent 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 didnât have a chance to trace it down though. Iâll 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
(itâs not perfect, but it should illustrate the solution).
