How to keep the Tab key within an Adobe Captivate SWF file

Issue

When a click is associated to a tab, the tab key will jump outside of the SWF and activate tab options inside the browser, instead of staying inside the simulation.

Reason

This behavior occurs because of a feature called Seamless Tabbing, which allows tabbing to extend beyond the movie and interact with the browser's address bar.

Solution

Disable Seamless Tabbing within your SWF file.

  1. Open the HTML file in notepad.
  2. Between the <object> </object> tags add the following:

    <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false">
  3. Save the HTML file.

You will now find that all tabbing stays within the SWF movie.
