You can't change the backgroundcolor of the selected link but you can change the color and font properties to show that its selected. Below is the sample code, where I'm changing the font color of the selected link to red and also making it bold. Hope this will help.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="600" height="600"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function doLinkBar(event){ for(var i=0; i<event.target.numChildren; i++){ var curItem = event.target.getChildAt(i); if (i==event.index) { curItem.setStyle("color", 0xFF0000); curItem.setStyle("fontWeight", 'bold'); }else{ curItem.setStyle("color", 0x000000); curItem.setStyle("fontWeight", 'normal'); } } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:LinkBar id="lb1" dataProvider="{['Flex','Flash','Dreamweaver','Breeze']}" click="doLinkBar(event)"/> </mx:Application> To show the selected link as red and bold when the page first loads, you can write an initialize event handler and change the link appearance of the default selected link in that function. -Ashish > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of delaquae > Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 7:39 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Is there a LinkBar style similar to > activeTab for tabNavigator > > Thanks Saleh, > > I am already quite familiar with the CSS Style explorer but > unfortunately it does not expose all the styles that are available > for each component and what I'm trying to do is not a documented > style that I have been able to find anyway.
