Maybe there is FocusTraversalPolicy in actionscript. 
FocusTraversalPolicy does what you want in java/javascript IMHO.
If you want to have proper "TAB key"(focus) behaviour along with the
proper window capturing your pageup pagedown keys you will need to
master the javascript/java focustraversalpolicy stuff and be vigiliant
that it is working properly on all target os's :)  Another suggestion is
to have "focus display area hints" showing which of your flash thingy's
have focus :)  A simple example of focus-display-area-hinting is the
dashed lines(marquee boxes) being drawn in the current focus area.
