Hi Paul,
Well, you're really trying to mix apples and oranges. If you have a
LinkBar that contols a ViewStack, the expected behavior is that when one
of the LinkButtons in the LinkBar is clicked, the ViewStack's
selectedIndex changes to the index of the clicked LinkButton on the
LinkBar. If you want to add a urlRequest to this behavior, you can
listen for the LinkBar's itemClick event:
<mx:LinkBar itemClick="onItemClick(event)"/>
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
private function onItemClick( event:ItemClickEvent ):void
{
if (event.label == "forum")
{
var request:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(http://www.MyForum.com/ <http://www.MyForum.com/> );
navigateToURL(request);
}
}

Flex so I'm learning fast. What I have is a linkbar that is attached to
a viewstack. I have three items on the linkbar (Home, Forum, Contacts).
It seems that linkbar in this manner creates a canvas component to be
shown for each respective linkbar item. I tried to take the one for the
"forum" and use it to navigateToUrl with no luck. I added an id to the
canvas and attempted to use the click attribute to make it function but
it seems as if "click" is not acceptable or functional on a canvas
component? I seen mention of onClick, so I am going to look into that.
