An html table isn't a bad idea. The problem is, I don't know the text that 
will go into the field until runtime--it's being chosen at random from a 
2-d list. It seems like I'd have to do a lot of parsing of the html as 
text, wouldn't I?

Another, simpler option is, of course, to have 4 members/sprites onscreen, 
and just cycle through them.

Still, I'd like to know why the tabs aren't working.
