Ok, I have this flash form setup, but when I goto tab from field to field, it trys to tab to buttons or other stuff on the page such as the url bar and junk. I was wondering if flash can somehow capture the tabs and move it to the next field in the form rather then to a button or something. No idea how to do this. Thanks in advance.

on (keyPress "<Tab>") {
if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.name") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.email");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.email") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.comments");
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == "_level0.comments") {
Selection.setFocus("_level0.name");
}
}

just set it up for each of your fields...

Ok, everythings working good, but, when i go and test it with IE and push tab, it keeps tabbing to the damn address bar and wont tab off of it. What do I do? I could either have it open with a window that doesnt have that damn url bar, that might work, or if you know some other trick, that would be great.

Matt,

I think you need to make the user set the focus onto the flash movie and not to just the browser or the web page but the flash object in the web page.

To solve that you could simply make the user click a continue button or anything else just to have the cursor focused onto the flash movie.

Make sense?

I can see this question has been up for quite a long time now but I'm sure there are many people like myself looking for the answer to this, and the SIMPLEST way to sort your tabbing is this:

CODE


textField1.tabIndex = 1;
textField2.tabIndex = 2;
textField3.tabIndex = 3;
textField4.tabIndex = 4;
textField5.tabIndex = 5;



Where textFieldx is the text field you want to tab to.
