To turn off the Tab function or control what the tab order is for certain text area's you can use something like this:

on (keyPress "<Tab>") {
  if (Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
     var curField = Selection.getFocus();
     curField = curField.substr(curField.LastIndexOf(".")+1);
     if (curField == "TexTFieldName1") {
        Selection.setFocus("TexTFieldName2");
     } else {
        Selection.setFocus("TexTFieldName1");
     }
  }
}

This will Tab between TextFieldName1 and TextFieldName2.  This will only allow tabbing on those two text area's and the movie will not tab to any other buttons or text areas.

You could use something similiar to get rid of all tabs altogether - but in most cases you have a couple of text fields that you need to tab to.
