Button 371

tabEnabled (Button.tabEnabled property)

public tabEnabled : Boolean

Specifies whether my_btn is included in automatic tab ordering. It is undefined by default.

If the

tabEnabled property is undefined or true, the object is included in automatic tab

ordering. If the

tabIndex property is also set to a value, the object is included in custom tab

ordering as well. If

tabEnabled is false, the object is not included in automatic or custom

tab ordering, even if the

tabIndex property is set.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following ActionScript is used to set the

tabEnabled property for one of four buttons to

false. However, all four buttons (one_btn, two_btn, three_btn, and four_btn) are placed

in a custom tab order using

tabIndex. Although tabIndex is set for three_btn, three_btn

is not included in a custom or automatic tab order because

tabEnabled is set to false for

that instance. To set the tab ordering for the four buttons, add the following ActionScript to

Frame 1 of the Timeline:

three_btn.tabEnabled = false;

two_btn.tabIndex = 1;

four_btn.tabIndex = 2;

three_btn.tabIndex = 3;

one_btn.tabIndex = 4;
