MovieClip 931
The tabIndex property must be a positive integer. The objects are ordered according to their
tabIndex properties, in ascending order. An object with a tabIndex value of 1 precedes an
object with a
tabIndex value of 2. The custom tab ordering disregards the hierarchical
relationships of objects in a SWF file. All objects in the SWF file with
tabIndex properties
are placed in the tab order. Do not use the same
tabIndex value for multiple objects.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following ActionScript sets a custom tab order for three movie clip instances.
myMC1_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC2_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC3_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC1_mc.tabIndex = 2;
myMC2_mc.tabIndex = 1;
myMC3_mc.tabIndex = 3;

Returns the target path of the movie clip instance, in slash notation. Use the eval() function
to convert the target path to dot notation.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4
Example
The following example displays the target paths of movie clip instances in a SWF file, in both
slash and dot notation.
for (var i in this) {
if (typeof (this[i]) == "movieclip") {
trace("name: " + this[i]._name + ",\t target: " + this[i]._target + ",\t
target(2):"
+ eval(this[i]._target));
}
}
