Hello,
I am having difficulty determining the identity of the next object in the tabbing order. I set the tabIndex of a group of text fields as they are attached and upon running the app the tab key works as expected. However, another requirement is that upon a condition (say length of field reached while typing) I want to actionscript to move the focus to the next text field in the tabbing order. The problem is I don’t know what field that is.
getFocus() will return me a tabIndex of the field I am on. But setFocus() wants an object name. focusManager has a nextTabIndex property but there again, just a number. I could build my own array of objects as I set the tabIndex, but that seems a little clunky and operates independently of Flashes handling of it.
I understand this functionality was meant for use with the tab key, but it sure would be nice to query against wherever Flash has stored its reference to objects in tab order. Is that possible? Or is there another way to approach moving the focus the next field without requiring a tab keystroke?
Thanks for any help you may provide.
