tabEnabled (MovieClip.tabEnabled property)
public tabEnabled : Boolean
Specifies whether the movie clip is included in automatic tab ordering. It is undefined by
default.
If the
tabEnabled property is undefined, the object is included in automatic tab ordering
only if it defines at least one movie clip handler, such as
MovieClip.onRelease. If
tabEnabled is 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. However, if MovieClip.tabChildren is true, you can still
include the movie clip's children in automatic tab ordering, even if
tabEnabled is set to
false.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following example does not include
myMC2_mc in the automatic tab ordering:
myMC1_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC2_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC3_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC2_mc.tabEnabled = false;

public tabIndex : Number
Lets you customize the tab ordering of objects in a movie. The tabIndex property is
undefined by default. You can set the tabIndex property on a button, movie clip, or text
field instance.
If an object in a SWF file contains a
tabIndex property, automatic tab ordering is disabled,
and the tab ordering is calculated from the
tabIndex properties of objects in the SWF file.
The custom tab ordering includes only objects that have
tabIndex properties.
