Hi,  
this tab index code works in jumping from one field to another in the right order but it also shows this text in the fields when I publish (‘form’ is the movieclip in which the textfields are):

```auto
level0.form.naam

```

and then

```auto
level0.form.tel 

```

and so on…

tab index code I am using:

```auto
 
naam.tabIndex = 1; 
tel.tabIndex = 2; 
email.tabIndex = 3; 
straat.tabIndex = 4;
plaats.tabIndex = 5;
vraag.tabIndex = 6;

```

Also, this \_focusrect code is not working for me to get rid of the green boxes when tabbing through the fields.

```auto
 _focusrect=false;

```

I think the first problem comes from the fact that i am loading my form into my main movie (level0), but does anyone know the answer?

Thank you,

Jerryj.
