By default, in the local test player(Control > Test Movie), if you try and press the enter key, to test some code that uses it, your code will not work because the player over-rides the key press as a keyboard shortcut to pause and play the movie, the same goes for the tab key and other important system keys, such as Ctrl, Shift etc… So if you want to test your tabIndexes in the test player, so u can use trace and the debugger, simply select Disable Keyboard Shortcuts from the Control menu (Control > Disable Keyboard Shortcuts) and your code will now recieve the key presses. Saves me alot of faffing around! Think this is something else i was slow on, these little fine details just fly over my head.
