      import flash.text.*; 
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var tContent:TextField = new TextField();tContent.multiline = true;
        tContent.border = true;
        tContent.wordWrap = true;
        tContent.text = "\ta\n";
        tContent.text += "\t\tb\n";
        tContent.text += "\t\t\tc";
        var tfFormatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
        tfFormatter.tabStops = [10, 50, 150];
        tfFormatter.align = "left";
        tContent.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
          addChild(tContent);
    }
  }
}

Working with Tab Order

 

package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  import flash.text.*;    
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var tEmail:TextField = new TextField();
        tEmail.border = true;
        tEmail.type = "input";
        tEmail.tabIndex = 1;
        
        var tPostalCode:TextField = new TextField();
        tPostalCode.border = true;
        tPostalCode.type = "input";
        tPostalCode.tabIndex = 2;
        addChild(tEmail);
        addChild(tPostalCode);
    }
  }
