Button.tabEnabled

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_btn.tabEnabled:Boolean

Description

Property; 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.

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;
