My designers build the content, but it's rapid dev by non-technicals. I can do limited content prep, if I can automate it for them.
I'll look into using implementing a SWFLoader that implements IFocusManagerComponent. Difficulty isn't that big of a concern -- it's either make this work or dump a months worth of work. Been googling for examples of this technique to see if it'll do what I need. You know of any existing implementations or articles on the topic? IT really seems like I can get either the flex content tab order working, or the loaded swf content working, but not both. Thanks for the help so far. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you don't own the content, the FCK won't help you.
