Focusing on the next object

[Pugger]

You know when you press tab on a form, you can pass focus from one object to the next.

I want to get the next object to receive focus, but have yet to find a method or variable that can help me. I feel the answer is within the focusManager class.

Any clues?

if they're all children, you can use depth and array access

e.g.,

function maketf(a,b){var c=a.getNextHighestDepth();a.createTextField(c,c,0,0,0,0);for(var i in b)a[c][i]=b[i];return a[c];}
function jumpto(){if(Key.isDown(Key.TAB)){var a=Math.max(0,Math.min(this._parent.getNextHighestDepth(),this.getDepth()+1));Selection.setFocus(this._parent[a]);}}
var parentclip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(0,0);
for(var i=10;i--;)Key.addListener(maketf(parentclip, {autoSize:true, _x:20, _y:20*i, type:'input', onKeyDown:jumpto, text:'im textbox number '+i}));

Thanks,

But I don't know if that is quite what I am after. This is for a V2 component, so I want to be able to use the focusManager to manage things.

I have a component with a textField within it. I can focus on the textField, but if I do that you get trapped within the component and pressing tab wont let you out. Macromedia have seemed to have solved this with their own components like the inputfield. Am I able to look at the source code of these (for MAC OSX) or does anyone know how they did the focus for these components?

Don't worry, I fixed the problem by checking out the label components source code.
