I have just made a merry little stack with 3 fields all in a row.

And a button containing this script:

on mouseUp
   put the id of the focusedObject into fOB
   put (fOB + 1) into fOB
   focus on fld id fOB
on mouseUp

and, oddly enough, it shifts the focus down the line of fields, one per 
click.

Have a lovely weekend.  Richmond.
