Tab in TLF !!!

By default TLF ignores the Tab key and it's used to navigate focus.  This can be changed by creating a custom Configuration and passing it into the TextConverter or the TextFlow constructor.  See the flashx.textLayout.elements.Configuration class.  Note that once a TextFlow is constructed its Configuration cannot be changed.

There is a defaultConfiguration that is used when no Configuration is specified.  So the simplest way to have all your TextFlows insert a tab on the tab key is to add this line to the startup before any TextFlows are created.

TextFlow.defaultConfiguration.manageTabKey = true;

Note that if you are using TLF wrapped by Flex or FlashCS5 then you'll have to work through the components and APIs they provide.

Hope that helps,
