Hi all,  
Does anyone know if there is a way to set focus to the next item in the tabIndex? So for example (in psuedo code):  
stage.focus = whatever the next item in the tabIndex is

Maybe something like tabIndex.next? I know this doesn’t work because I already tried it, but maybe something like it?  
Thanks!
