MovieClip.tabChildren

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

myMovieClip.tabChildren

Description

Property; undefined by default. If tabChildren is undefined or true, then the children of a movie clip are included in automatic tab ordering. If the value of tabChildren is false, the children of a movie clip are not included in automatic tab ordering.

Example

A list box UI widget built as a movie clip contains several items. Each item may be clicked on to select it, so each item is a button. However, only the list box itself should be a tabstop. The items inside the list box should be excluded from tab ordering. To do this, the tabChildren property of the list box should be set to false.

The tabChildren property has no effect if the tabIndex property is used; it only affects automatic tab ordering.
