Hi all, I would like to create a tab loop. This tab-loop would have to cycle through various elements in my user interface. Combo boxes, text input and radio buttons. The image below should give you an idea of what I would like to achieve. I have searched and searched to no avail ☹ Does anyone know of a nice tutorial on how to use the focusmanager and define a tab-loop ? The two movieclips (mc\_01 and mc\_02) can be visible or not visible depending on the selection of rb01 or rb02 Furthermore I would like to have the following feature: If the user tabs into a textbox, the whole text should be selected so it can be overtyped The image might look a little chaotic but I hope you get the point. Thanks in advance ! [![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6717/47137caa1d1ec73e.jpg)](http://postimg.org/image/nc6o6iur5/)\<\
