tabEnabled (MovieClip.tabEnabled property)

Specifies whether the movie clip is included in automatic tab ordering. It is undefined by default.

If the tabEnabled property is undefined, the object is included in automatic tab ordering only if it defines at least one movie clip handler, such as MovieClip.onRelease. If tabEnabled is true, the object is included in automatic tab ordering. If the tabIndex property is also set to a value, the object is included in custom tab ordering as well.

If tabEnabled is false, the object is not included in automatic or custom tab ordering, even if the tabIndex property is set. However, if MovieClip.tabChildren is true, you can still include the movie clip's children in automatic tab ordering, even if tabEnabled is set to false.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example does not include myMC2_mc in the automatic tab ordering:

myMC1_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC2_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC3_mc.onRelease = function() {};
myMC2_mc.tabEnabled = false;
