Tab index nightmare

1

i have a movieclip with 4 text boxes (not an array) and i’m trying to set the tab index for each with no success :frowning:

on the movie instance in the main stage i have the following code:

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.contact.name.tabIndex=1;
_root.contact.tel.tabIndex=2;
_root.contact.mail.tabIndex=3;
_root.contact.comment.tabIndex=4;
Selection.setFocus("_root.contact.name");
}

name, tel, mail and comment are the names of the textboxes (they also have variables with different names)

i’m not getting a tab index and the cursor ain’t appearing on the first textbox either - instead, 2 of my textboxes have this writing in them: _level0.contact.email
?
?

any help would be a Godsend

thanks as always
