Nasty Yellow Highlight on Buttons When “Tabbing”When you’re in a flash movie and you hit the “tab” button to go from button to button flash likes to put a bright bold yellow highlight around the button that is awfully ugly and annoying. This is how you get rid of that awful yellow highlight that flash produces by default.

movieClipName.tabEnabled = false;

Note: this code will also make the button not “tabbable”. Now when you hit the tab button on the keyboard it will ignore that button all together. You can still utilize it with ‘getfoucus’.

if you have nested moveclips then use this code too:
parentMovieClipName.tabChildren = false;

No more nasty default yellow highlights around anything that is tabbable in your flash movies.
