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 rect-
angle. 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 prop-

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.
Usage
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.
