I tried using LinkButtons and was still not able to get tabbing to work: <mx:HBox tabChildren="true"> <mx:Label text="1." /> <mx:LinkButton label="A" tabIndex="0" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:LinkButton label="B" tabIndex="1" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:Label text="2." /> <mx:LinkButton label="C" tabIndex="2" tabEnabled="true" /> <mx:LinkButton label="D" tabIndex="3" tabEnabled="true" /> </mx:HBox>
