A few exceptions for tabChildren = false;?

I wanted all my child movieclips to have tabEnabled = false, so I use tabChildren = false. It works great, but now I want all movie clips except for a few to have tabEnabled = false.

Can I still use tabChildren = false, and then make exceptions for the child movie clips that I want to enable tabs for? I have tried to set tabEnabled = true on these movie clips but the tabChildren seems to be “stronger”.

Any ideas?
