Usage
my_mc.tabChildren
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.

Usage
my_mc.tabEnabled
Description
Property; specifies whether my_mc is included in automatic tab ordering. It is undefined
by default.
If
tabEnabled is undefined, the object is included in automatic tab ordering only if it defines at
least one button handler, such as
MovieClip.onRelease. If tabEnabled is 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. However, if MovieClip.tabChildren is true, the movie clip’s
children can still be included in automatic tab ordering, even if
tabEnabled is false.
