Tabing beetween text fields out of order

[funkymonk]

I have a problem with the tab functions when filling out the login fields. When I click to type in my user name and then tab like I usually do the highlight moves to another movie in a layer below and then jumps to a few more buttons before reaching back to the password field.

Is there an order that this follows and what makes this order ?

if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. here is the page..

if you're using MX, you can set the tabOrder property of the text fields. if you're using 5, there's a few hacks to do it.

If you have the book ActionScript: The Definitive Guide, there's an explanation on how to this in Flash 5 on page 567. If you don't have the book, you can download the .fla file that contains the code from the following website.

Click the arrow at the bottom of the page, and then select CodeDepot. Under the heading "Interface Widgets" you'll see the title "custom flash 5 tab order."
