I have tried adding the listener to the main application, and to an
individual text input, but i can't catch it.
I have tried listening both with and without useCapture (therefore attaching
in an mxml tag and also manually on creation complete -- not both at the
same time of course).
the handler is just a dumb handler but I can still provide it:
private function focusChangeHandler(event : Event) : void
{
trace("focus change");
}
I would be interested to know how you were able to shut down the FM.
We are not running 2.0.1 hotfix, because we don't use any DataGrid and I
didn't see any fix worth making the change for now. Is there a fix that
wasn't described in the hotfix kb?

What does your keyFocusChange handler look like and how did you attach
the listener? We use it elsewhere to shut down the FM.
Also, are you running 2.0.1 with the latest hotfix?

Tried the keyFocusChange, but nothing to do, the event still gets fired
after the FocusManager handles the keyDown event.
Any other ideas?

Maybe as part of a state change. Could that be the issue? The child it's
looking for seems to be quite often a VScrollBar and the parent a VBox.
I'll try the keyFocusChange today.
Thanks,

You can turn off tabbing by capturing keyFocusChange event from the stage.

We are having a bug in our application when the user presses the tab
key in any field. The error is the following:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child
of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/getChildIndex()
at
mx.core::Container/getChildIndex
()[C:\dev\flex_201_gmc\sdk\frameworks\mx\core\Container.as:2442]

at fl.managers::FocusManager/::keyDownHandler()
I am currently unable to narrow down the problem to a specific
component, so until I find a better solution, I would like to disable
tabbing globally in the application.
It's impossible to provide an exhaustive list of things I've tried in
order to achieve that result, but I've been unable to block the tab
keydown event from getting to the FocusManager. I have tried listening
to the keydown event everywhere (also using useCapture = true) in the
application, from the root component to the fields where the user can
actually press tab, but nothing works.
Does anybody have a quick fix to disable tabbing?
Thanks,
Mark
