This kind of works; you'll have to play with the positioning of the LinkBar in the canvas; rotation doesn't play well with Flex layoutmanager, hence it not being a supported property. Also, ensure Verdana.ttf is in your project's folder.

The functionality I am looking for is when the user clicks on it the selected link is highlighted with relation to a particular view. Is there a way to make a Link bar direction vertical, and what would be the best way to make a vertical navigation that is tied to a viewstack to get the highlighting affect? I have tried a simple link and tied it to the viewstack like the example below, but it will not highlight the link for the user to tell which selection has been made. *************************************************** <mx:Link id="searchButton" label="Search Screen" click="myViewStack.selectedChild=search;"/> *************************************************** Any suggestions would be appreciated.
