hello.

how do i make flash ignore the TAB key so that a user doesn’t try TABing through Form items (like you can in a browser) and end up highlighting another flash Button rather than the next Form Cell

ORRR

how can I control the order in which items are TABed in my movie?

any thoughts?

thanks.
