Classpublic final class TabManager

The TabManager class manages tab indexes.

Tab management in flash is flat; which means that no display object can have the same tab index.

This allows you to set a state which consists of any objects you want. Then you can activate, or deactivate those states.

For some reason the Flash components don't adhere to what the "tabIndex" property means. Even setting tabEnabled=false on components causes problems with this tab manager.

Examples are in the guttershark repository.
