Hi Guy’s,

Again sorry to be a pain but I am trying to figure out 2 things with regards to setting the focus on a form in flash. Firstly I would like the focus to go directly to the first object on the form yet it doesn’t, and I am not sure how to solve this issue.

Secondly I named the instance names of the inoutfields and in actionscript put this. Now because I have used the UI Components Combo box I aint sure hot to apply the tabbing order for this any clues?

pad1.tabIndex = 1;

I would be so grateful guys, thanks.
