FLASH: Field tabbing problem

[Linda Miller]

I am having some field tabbing problems I hope someone can advise me on. I have a flash movie with 5 edit fields and a submit button. When I play the movie in a projector the tabbing is wonderful. WHen I play the movie in a normal browser I have to click into the first field. When I tab to then next field, the blinking curser moves to that field, but all keystrokes to into the browser's address line (the curser continues to blink in the field). I have to click into the field to type in it. This is extremely bad! And it gets worse! I have a frames-based interface this is going into - where there is no toolbars or address field on the browser, only a caption bar. When I put the movie into it's proper frame in this browser interface I have no tabbing at all! 

How can I control this? This is totally unacceptable, and I plan to do many more flash movies with input fields.


I have posted this question to the newsgroup 5 times now and not one single response. Please, can anyone tell me what's happening and more importantly what I can to to correct it??
