I think you'll have to keep your own list of focusable objects and sort them by x,y then call setFocus on the right one.

I have the left/right arrow assignments working but the up/down not so much. I am also using the constraintRows and constraintColumns instead of the deprecated Grid class. I want to navigate to the object above/below the Focused object (which means changing rows) but I dont get how to do it. Does anyone have any idea? here is the method: //this method is the keyboard navigation private function key_check(event:KeyboardEvent):void{ //right if(event.keyCode==39){ focusManager.getNextFocusManagerComponent().setFocus() } //left if(event.keyCode==37){ focusManager.getNextFocusManagerComponent(true).setFocus() } //enter if(event.keyCode==13){ popUpNav(); } //UP if(event.keyCode ==38){ trace(event.currentTarget.parent ); var testU:Number = event.currentTarget.id -5; var testa:String = testU.toString(); //focusManager.setFocus(mainCanvas.prog5); } //DOWN if(event.keyCode ==40){ //focusManager. } }
