Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

`myMovieClip`.tabChildren

Description

Property; `undefined` by default. If `tabChildren` is `undefined` or `true`, then 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. Each item may be clicked on to select it, so each item is a button. However, only the list box itself should be a tabstop. 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; it only affects automatic tab ordering.
