I wrote an article for Macromedia’s Edge newsletter on Flash Forms and Flex, explaining the similarities and differences, and clarifying when to use each. The article entitled ColdFusion MX 7: Creating Flash Forms with Ease and Flex-ability is now online (see section 2).

Hi Ben,
Good overview. One problem I’ve been trying to solve with tabbed Flash forms: Is it possible to programatically change the focus from one tab to another? I’ve tried creating a button with an onclick event (onclick="formname.tabname.focus()") but can’t seem to get it to work. Even tried putting some Actionscipt in the onclick statement but no luck. Is this even possible with CF Flash forms?
Thanks,
Oliver -
This should work: Replace your button with the following:
<cfinput type = "button" name="cont_submit" width="100" value = "Next Tab" onclick="_root.cont_submit._parent._parent._parent.selectedIndex=1">
This was from Tim Buntel’s blog on flash forms.
HTH.

Thanks Dave!
I finally got it to work by using *four* ._parent tokens.
Cheers,
Oliver
