Example
The following example creates several text fields, called
one_txt, two_txt, three_txt and
four_txt. The three_txt text field has the tabEnabled property set to false, so it is
excluded from the automatic tab ordering.
this.createTextField("one_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22);
one_txt.border = true;
one_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("two_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 40, 100,
22);
two_txt.border = true;
two_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("three_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 70, 100,
22);
three_txt.border = true;
three_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("four_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 100, 100,
22);
four_txt.border = true;
four_txt.type = "input";
three_txt.tabEnabled = false;
three_txt.text = "tabEnabled = false;";

public tabIndex : Number
Lets you customize the tab ordering of objects in a SWF file. You can set the tabIndex
property on a button, movie clip, or text field instance; it is
undefined by default.
If any currently displayed object in the 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 only includes objects that have
tabIndex
properties.
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. If two objects have the same tabIndex value, the one that
precedes the other in the tab ordering is
undefined.
