tabIndex in Flash

If you have a form with a lot of textFields on it and you want the user to be able to use the tab key to move between the fields then “tabIndex” is your property. The way you use this property of the flash.display.InteractiveObject is shown below.

textField1.tabIndex = 0;
textField2.tabIndex = 1;
textField3.tabIndex = 2;
textField4.tabIndex = 3;

A lot of times you can make the textFields in order and that will work too, but to make sure they tab in the right way I would recommend using tabIndex.

Hope that helped.
