Dirk,
That's basically what the tab skin looked like before I started 
modifying it. What I'm trying to do is force a single instance of a 
TabBar to have a different skin. According to the docs this is not 
possible, but I figured what I'd ho instead is create a new class 
(InvertedTabBar) which extends TabBar and try to create a skin for this 
new class.

Is there a better way to do that?
Thanks,
Seth

Subject: [flexcoders] Mare on inverted tabs
Ladies and Gents,
So I've just picked up the inverted (upside down) tabs thing again and
began doing inspections of the TabBar object for possible leads. The
best I could find is a variable (probably private) called tabSkin which
was set to "mx.skins.TabSkin". I created a new MXML file called
InvertedTabSkin.mxml and basically just made it a wrapper for mx:TabBar
with nothing but a script tag inside with the following code:
import InvertedTabSkin;
function doInit ( ) {
this.tabSkin = "InvertedTabSkin";
}
The doInit() function is triggered by the initialize event in the root
element.
When I set this variable something happens to the TabBar created with
the InvertedTabBar class... all I get is the text of the tab and none 
of
the skin. The skin file, InvertedTabSkin.as has a few modifications 
from
a version that worked on all TabBars:

class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder {
static var symbolOwner:Object = InvertedTabSkin;
...
instead of
class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder {
static var symbolName:String = "mx.skins.TabSkin";
...
and
static function classConstruct():Boolean
_global.skinRegistry["InvertedTabSkin"] = true;
...
instead of
static function classConstruct():Boolean {
_global.skinRegistry["mx.skins.TabSkin"] = true;
...
Any ideas on where to go from here, or am I on a completely wrong 
track?

Thanks,
Seth
