Using the Accessibility manager I set the tab order of some text fields in a movie clip… I truned on view tab order and I can see the numbers next to each text field, but when I run the movie nothing happens!

I alternatively tried this also but to no avail… Is there something I am missing?

```auto
root.mc.mc.form_mc.tabChildren=true;
_root.mc.mc.form_mc.focusEnabled=false;

_root.mc.mc.form_mc.FirstName.tabIndex=1;
_root.mc.mc.form_mc.Email.tabIndex=2;
_root.mc.mc.form_mc.Comments.tabIndex=3;

_root.mc.mc.form_mc.FirstName.text="focus";
focusManager.setFocus(_root.mc.mc.form_mc.FirstName);

```
