| Button._focusrect Property | Flash 6 |
| Boolean; enables or disables automatic highlighting of buttons activated via the keyboard | read/write |
When the mouse pointer hovers over a Flash button, the content of the button's Over state is displayed. Buttons can also gain keyboard focus when the user presses the Tab key. When a button has keyboard focus, Flash displays the button's Over state and also places a yellow rectangle around the button, which is not always aesthetically desirable. You can turn off the yellow rectangle for an individual button by setting its _focusrect property to false:
go_btn._focusrect = false;
When _focusrect is set to false, Flash displays only the Over state of keyboard-focused buttons. When _focusrect is set to true, Flash displays the Over state and the yellow rectangle. When it is null (the default), the value of the global _focusrect property is used. To disable the yellow focus rectangle for all buttons in a movie, set the global _focusrect property to false. Note that the value of the global _focusrect property is not reflected by the _focusrect property of individual button instances. Furthermore, setting an individual button's _focusrect property overrides the global setting for that button.
The Tab key does not work reliably in Test Movie mode unless Control
Disable Keyboard Shortcuts is enabled. Be sure to
test keyboard behavior in the Standalone Player, if applicable, and
in the Flash Player for all targeted web browsers.
