Getting Focus problem

Hi there,

I have a quiz which I need to make an attempt to get Accessible. I've got the Yes and No Buttons tabbing between each other, but I am totally getting wrapped around trying to get which one is currently selected.

I've tried

Btn_Yes.onSetFocus = function() {
_root.txt_display="Yes button has focus";
_root.ChosenButton = "Yes";
};

But it ain't working.....

please help the little people

:confused:

hi, the code seems correct to me. but you have to set a tab index for your buttons to have the onSetFocus function work:

Btn_Yes.tabEnabled=true
Btn_No.tabEnabled=true
Btn_Yes.tabIndex=0
Btn_No.tabIndex=1

so the onSetFocus will happen when the button receives keyboard focus.

hope this helps

I had already put these lines in at the very start.

_global.tabEnabled = "true";
_global._focusrect = "true";

bt_Yes.tabindex = 1;
bt_No.tabindex = 2;

It show the focus when I run it and tab between them, But I can't find a way of setting a variable dependant on which has the focus.

So that when you tab between it will set var_answer to the appropriate state. Then detect a spacebar key press and move to the next question.

Seemed a simple idea when I started....

hi,
i have made a file for you and i uploaded on my url. then just click on number 10.
a couple of notes: in the code you posted you forget capital letters (tabindex instead of tabIndex and use different names for your buttons: bt_Yes and btn_Yes, for example. i don't know if it is the same in your .fla but just in case, i mention it to you.

i hope this file solves your problem. let me know if it doesn't.

Hi there,

Sorry for delay - bit of a cold.

Tried the fla file, but it doesn't move forward when you press the spacebar. It tabs correctly but no movement ?
