It seems like just the right tool to handle a major deficiency in Flex. Basically the inability to create tab loops for containers. I use a somewhat modified version of the SuperPanel component which is an extension of the panel component for all of the data entry forms in my application. I envisioned creating a FocusManager in the SuperPanel, and viola I would have a custom tab loop for each of my data entry screens. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple (it seldom is). I added a private variable to the component of the type FocusManager. Flex of course wants to add mx.managers.FocusManager, and we probably want fl.managers.FocusManager the flash version, since the mx version generates 2025 RT errors anytime you click on any object in the container that is assigned to a separate/custom focusmanager. The full error is; Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So has anyone else tried to create a flex component with a separate tab loop, if so how did you make it work? Has anyone worked with the fl.managers.FocusManager component? Is it the same as the mx.managers.FocusManager? Is it possible to get either one to do what I want? Which is to encapsulate a tab loop with in a container. How? Paul
