Custom tab function

WesBailes

I understand that this should be on a general flex forum but i haven't found a good one yet.

I have a need for a custom tab function for use between textinput controls. The only way that it works is if I call Alert.show("something"); after the command. At the top of the application, I have the tabChildren set to false.* event listener declaration code:*

textInput1.setFocus();
textInput2.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN ,kH);

* handler code is:*

private function kH(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.TAB) {*
textinput2.setFocus();
//only works with the following line uncommented*****
//Alert.show("made it"); } }* Any suggestions are appreciated!
