Hi,

I hope you can help, I’m surprised that i cant find more information on Google about this, although i might be asking the wrong question.

I have 2 forms that do two different jobs, each form has a series of fields.

When the user selects a form and begins entering data, i want them to be able to tab through that specific form.

But by setting TabIndex it causes a conflict and the cursor jumps between the forms. I suspect i have to use focus manager? but im not that certain.

I’m using AS2, could any one offer some advice!

Thanks in advance.
