I have like 5 text fields, they are all input types. But when i run the flash and want to press TAB in order to reach the next field, it doesnt work.  
I tried with:

mytextfield\_1.tabIndex =1;  
mytextfield\_2.tabIndex =2;  
mytextfield\_3.tabIndex =3;  
mytextfield\_4.tabIndex =4;  
mytextfield\_5.tabIndex =5;

But still not working. I cant reach the next field by pressing TAB.  
Can anyone help me?  
Cheers.  
Leo.
