RE: [flexcoders] How can I block a TabNavigator ?

Yes, I agree, its bad design. The benefits of exposing tabs for browsing and then disabling them and forcing the user to follow some other route to navigate through the container makes no sense to me but I was just answering the poster’s initial question J   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Andrews Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 12:45 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] How can I block a TabNavigator ?   ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deepa Subramaniam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 6:52 PM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] How can I block a TabNavigator ? > What you can do is iterate through the TabNavigator's tabs and disable > each of them.

It's really good making the user think (s)he can navigate the tabs, then discover they can't. Is this really good practice? Even with the disabled tabs - hey I completed the info, now it's become invalid..
