RE: [flasher] RE: Set focus action in V4

[Paul Willoughby]

If your brief allows you to put all the text fields in one frame, rather

than split across 9 frames, you can take advantage of the inbuilt tab

ordering. The tab order seems to be across then down. The tab key will also

select buttons.

So, if you had 9 text fields in a column and you type something in the first

one, then hit tab, the I-beam cursor will move to the next text field. 

There is absolutely no way to force a text field to focus in Flash 4.
