I have form page with a bunch of input text boxes... check it out at ..

and click on contact.

If you tab down.. you will see that the button "about" becomes highlighted after name. This movie (navbar) is loaded into a seperate level from the contact movie. I have the tab index set in the contact movie. I also put the below code on both levels after doing some reading about tab index issues, but no luck.

_level2.navigation.navigationmoves.aboutmc._focusrect = false;

I have set the tab index as follows...

Selection.setFocus("name");
name.tabIndex = 1;
organization.tabIndex = 2;
telephone.tabIndex = 3;
email.tabIndex = 4;
inquiry.tabIndex = 5;
 
That's not the only element highlighted if you keep hitting the tab key... Even the browser's address bar!

Any of these movies set to be transparent?
 
The movie is comprised of three levels at all times after loading, the nav bar, the background elements and the content area (ie on this page it would be the contact stuff on the right side of the page). None of the movies are set to be trasparent.

I put this code in the contact movie to prevent the other elements from being tabbed...

_root.send_b.tabEnabled = false;
_root.email_b.tabEnabled = false;

That bit works fine, but not for other movies loaded into the main. ??????
