About using components with screens
(Flash Professional only)
You can use components with screens to create complex, structured applications in Flash.
Components are especially useful with forms, to create structured applications that show data
and enable nonlinear user interactivity. For example, you can use forms to populate a
container component.
When you use components with screens, you can use the Focus Manager to create custom
navigation between components. The Focus Manager specifies the order in which
components receive focus when a user presses the Tab key to navigate in an application. For
example, you can customize a form application so that a user can press Tab to navigate fields
and press Return (Macintosh) or Enter (Windows) to submit the form.
For information on the Focus Manager, see “Creating custom focus navigation” and
“FocusManager class” in Components Language Reference.
You can also create a tab order using the Accessibility panel. For more information, see
“Viewing and creating tab order and reading order” on page 525.
