Tab Key not working in Browser

I have some text entry boxes that use the Tab key as the shortcut. The Tab key related boxes work fine when previewed but when published and viewed in the browser nothing happens? The learner pressed that tab key and cursor jumps to the address bar. I’m using captivate 5.5 and will be upgrading 6.0 soon. Is there a fix?

    Hi Stewieb,

    Thank you for contacting Adobe.

    Please assign any other key as shortcut apart from the standard keys. So you can assign Key line "M" , "P" etc.

    Then once open the browser please click inside the SWF area then use the "Tab" key to navigate from one object to the other.

    After that please use the below mentioned steps:

    1.     Open the Published html file in Notepad.

    2.     Locate the line that defines your flash movie. It will look similar to:

          var so = new SWFObject("Plan a Work Order-Part 2-Add Work Plan-Assessment.swf", "Captivate", "1254", "799", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    3.     Right after that line, insert this line:

                  so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false");

    4.     Your code will now look similar to this:

                var so = new SWFObject("Plan a Work Order-Part 2-Add Work Plan-Assessment.swf", "Captivate", "1254", "799", "10", "#CCCCCC");

                so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false");

    Please let me know if that works for you.

    Thanks

    Loveesh
