tabIndex in MX not working for me...

[tviman]

Has anybody found a way to make the tabIndex property work correctly in MX? I've tried all of the following with no success:

textfield.tabIndex = 1;

this.textfield.tabIndex = 1;

_root.textfield.tabIndex = 1;

MCname.textfield.tabIndex = 1;

_level0.textfield.tabIndex = 1;

Nothing works! My textfields are "input text" and I have several combo boxes, radio buttons, and check boxes. I really don't want to write a custom "setFocus" script but if I can't get tabIndex to work, I may have to.

Any ideas???



There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Thanks, oldnewbie. That's where I started in the first place but couldn't get it to work on my system - Dell Dimension, 512mb Memoery, 2.3ghz processor! I'll go back and try it again.

oldnewbie...

Thanks for your help - I got it figured out! But, I'm too embarrassed to say what the problem was so let's just say that it was a severe case of head-up-butt syndrome!

Thanks again...
