tabEnabled (TextField.tabEnabled property)

Specifies whether the text field is included in automatic tab ordering. It is undefined by default.

If the tabEnabled property is undefined or 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.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example creates several text fields, called one_txt, two_txt, three_txt and four_txt. The three_txt text field has the tabEnabled property set to false, so it is excluded from the automatic tab ordering.

this.createTextField("one_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100, 22);
one_txt.border = true;
one_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("two_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 40, 100, 22);
two_txt.border = true;
two_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("three_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 70, 100, 22);
three_txt.border = true;
three_txt.type = "input";
this.createTextField("four_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 100, 100, 22);
four_txt.border = true;
four_txt.type = "input";

three_txt.tabEnabled = false;
three_txt.text = "tabEnabled = false;";

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player 7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components' DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
