[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Hi Friends,[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I have a problem in accessing external SWF files tab index. [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I tried to access the external SWF’s buttons by the Local Connection. I tried to give the tab index for the external SWF file. I am accessing more than two external SWF files.
