The TAB question again w/the script 1

http://www.actionscript.org/actionscripts_library/Selection_Object/

I posted a question the other day and got the answer I was needing and applied it. Weird thing is that at the above link found the same script but when i put it to use that it just gives me a bunch of errors. So still have not got it to work. The below is the error. Then I have my script below it....anyone, anyone??


Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (keypress &quot;<Tab>&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 6: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.creditor1&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 8: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.balance1&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 10: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.minpymt1&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 14: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.creditor2&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 16: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.balance2&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 20: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.interestrate2&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 24: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.balance3&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 26: 'else' encountered without matching 'if'
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.minpymt3&quot {

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=fields, Frame=1: Line 28: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.interestrate3&quot {



???????????????????????????????????????????????????????


on (keypress &quot;<Tab>&quot {
if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.firstname&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.lastname&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.lastname&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.creditor1&quot; {
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.creditor1&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.balance1&quot; {
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.balance1&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.minpymt1&quot;

Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.balance2&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() = &quot;_level0.balance2&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.minpymt2&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.minpymt2&quot {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.interestrate2&quot; {

This code works I just made it :

onClipEvent (load) {
	Selection.setFocus("_parent.box1");
	var myArray = new Array('box1', 'box2', 'box3', 'box4','box5','box6');
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.getCode() == 9) {
		for (var x = 0; x<myArray.length+1; x++) {
			if (Selection.getFocus() == myArray[x]) {
				Selection.setFocus(&quot;_parent.&quot;+myArray[x+1]);
			}
		}
	}
}

Yours works, but if you place the boxes with the box1 as the bottom and box2, box3, box4, box5 above them, it will still TAB through them from top to bottom. So it is not actually following all the script. Do you know how to correct this?

Ok then. Thanks for the time spent on it, I will keep searching for the answer. I don't want you to have to spend much more time on it, it's my prob so I will do the searching. Thanks dave.

I could only get it to work without using arrays, oh well :



onClipEvent (load) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_parent.box0&quot;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.box0&quot; && Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.box4&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.box1&quot; && Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.box3&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.box2&quot; && Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.box0&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.box3&quot; && Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.box2&quot;
} else if (Selection.getFocus() == &quot;_level0.box4&quot; && Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
Selection.setFocus(&quot;_level0.box1&quot;
}
}
