autoTab

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember).autoTab
    the autoTab of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; determines the effect that pressing the Tab key has on the editable field or text cast member specified by `whichCastMember.` The property can be made active (`TRUE`) or inactive (`FALSE`). Tabbing order depends on sprite number order, not position on the Stage.

This property is always `TRUE` in an applet created with the Save as Java feature of Director.

Example

This statement causes the cast member Comments to automatically advance the insertion point to the next editable field or text sprite after the user presses Tab.

Dot syntax:

    member ("Comments").autotab = TRUE

Verbose Lingo syntax:

    set the autoTab of member "Comments" to TRUE
