Hi Hall

I have a form with about 14 Flash MX components on it, how do I set up the Tab nubering so that when a user presses the tab button it goes to each control in a specific order.

Regards

[AS]  
myMC.tabIndex = 1;  
myMC2.tabIndex = 2;  
myMC3.tabIndex = 3;  
myMC4.tabIndex = 4;  
[/AS]

you can try set the tab order by changing the numbers…

Hi e.s.x.s

That works great up until it gets to either a check box or an option box, wich it does not tab past.

I have set up about 14 tab indexes number 6 is an option componet so it does not tab to 7.
