[flexcoders] Tabbing to an HBox

[Giles Roadnight]

Hi All

I've got a simple task - to tab through a list of buttons and to an
HBox set up as a button. This doesn't seem to work though, I have
tried in Flex 3 and Flex 2 and a variety of different property combos.

my current code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
        
        <mx:VBox>
                <mx:Button label="button 1"  />
                <mx:Button label="button 2"  />
                
                <mx:HBox  
                        buttonMode="true"
                        tabEnabled="true" 
                        focusEnabled="true"  
                        backgroundColor="0xFF0000" 
                        mouseChildren="false">
                        <mx:Label text="hbox heading" fontWeight="bold" />
                        <mx:Label text="hbox content" />
                </mx:HBox>
                
                <mx:Button label="button 3"/>
        </mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>

Any suggestions?

Thanks
