tabChildren (MovieClip.tabChildren property)
public tabChildren :
Boolean
Determines whether the children of a movie clip are included in the automatic tab ordering. If
the
tabChildren
property 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. The default value is
undefined
.
Availability:
ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
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 to include the children movie clip instances of
menu_mc
in the automatic tab ordering:
menu_mc.tabChildren = true;
