Description

SAP requests that the image component implement IFocusManagerComponent by default. The ability to tab to Image elements is a requirement in SAP's keyboard and accessibility guidelines, and they do not want to extend the image component. They would be satisfied if the Image component implemented IFocusManagerComponent and focusEnabled was set to false by default, but want an easy way to enable the focus with the Image control.

Actual Results:
Image is not in the tab order

Expected Results:
Users should be able to tab to images in Flex apps

Workaround (if any):
Extend Image in a custom control (not desired)
