TAB ORDER OF FORM FIELDS HEEEELLLP PLEASE noosachic

macromedia flash sitedesign:
I have a nice form set up in flash. I can enter text in the fields, but as I
tab from the first field to the next, I end up on text in another area of the
page before tabbing again to land on another field, then when I tab again, I
get the next field, tab again and leave the form to find text elsewhere, then
tab again to come back to the form. The order of fields I would like to have is
name, company, email, phone, message. What I'm getting is name, off the form,
off the form, company, email, message, phone. Please tell me what I'm not doing
so the tabs go from one field seamlessly to the next. THANK YOU.

Here is a link to Google Groups for Flash searching for "tab index". Many pages of info on tab indexing.

Here is a bit of code used for a feedback submit form that sets the tab order for all the text boxes and a submit button..
form.emailBox.tabIndex = 1;
form.nameBox.tabIndex = 2
form.addressBox.tabIndex = 3;
form.cityBox.tabIndex = 4
form.stateBox.tabIndex = 5;
form.zipBox.tabIndex = 6;
form.phoneBox.tabIndex = 7;
form.messageBox.tabIndex = 8;
submit_btn.tabIndex = 9;
