MovieClip.tabChildren

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_mc.tabChildren

Description

Property; undefined by default. If tabChildren is undefined or true, 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. The user can click each item to select it, so each item is a button. However, only the list box itself should be a tab stop. 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; the tabChildren property affects only automatic tab ordering.
