Button.tabIndex
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
myButton
.tabIndex
Description
Property; lets you customize the tab ordering of objects in a movie. You can set the tabIndex
property on a button, movie clip, or text field instance; it is undefined
by default.
If any currently displayed object in the Flash movie contains a tabIndex
property, automatic tab ordering is disabled, and the tab ordering is calculated from the tabIndex
properties of objects in the movie. The custom tab ordering only includes objects that have tabIndex
properties.
The tabIndex
property may be an non-negative integer. The objects are ordered according to their tabIndex
properties, in ascending order. An object with a tabIndex
of 1
precedes an object with tabIndex 2
. If two objects have the same tabIndex
, the one that precedes the other in the tab ordering is undefined
.
The custom tab ordering defined by the tabIndex
property is flat. This means that no attention is paid to the hierarchical relationships of objects in the Flash movie. All objects in the Flash movie with tabIndex
properties are placed in the tab order, and the tab order is determined by the order of the tabIndex
values. If two objects have the same tabIndex
value,
the one that goes first is undefined. You shouldn't use the same tabIndex
value for multiple objects.
