flash actionscript: I'm having huge troubles with tab ordering components/textboxes manually.

I have attached mc's that, in them, have 3 text boxes and 4 combo box
components (all in a row). When testing the individual movieclip for tab order,
they are indexed properly. However, when the program automatically attaches
them via attachMovie the tab order screws up. It will tab through the first few
text boxes, then go to a combo box, then some other text box, then other
components, etc. Seemingly random.

I have tried using tabIndex, and it will index the text boxes but ignore
component instances. I have tried letting it manually tab order it based on
z-index, but it doesn't do that properly either.

Is there another way to achieve tab ordering?

Fine. I don't need any help.. ;)

Alright, well it seemed the problem had to do with loading. Loading a lot of
components at once bogs flash down, so I initially changed my loading to use a
setInterval to give it time. The the tab order wasn't registering because the
components weren't fully loaded, apparently.

So another setInterval solved the problem. Go intervals!
