MovieClip.tabChildren
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_mc
.tabChildren
:Boolean
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.
The following example disables tabbing for all children movie clips inside a parent movie clip
called
menu_mc
.
menu_mc.onRelease = function(){};
menu_mc.menu1_mc.onRelease = function(){};
menu_mc.menu2_mc.onRelease = function(){};
menu_mc.menu3_mc.onRelease = function(){};
menu_mc.menu4_mc.onRelease = function(){};
menu_mc.tabChildren = false;
Change the last line of code to the following, in order to include the children movie clip instances
of
menu_mc
in the automatic tab ordering.
menu_mc.tabChildren = true;
