Is this 1.5 or 2.0? I don't remember, it's possible the "selected" property will keep the link highlighted? So you could then do linkBar.getChildAt(event.index).selected = true.
There isn't a direct way to get that id that you're looking for. But you can take the event's index to find the right item in the dataProvider and then pull a property off that way.

I have all forms under one viewstack (on the right), with multiple navigation menus/linkbars (in another viewstack on the left...vertical alignment). At the moment I am using vs.selectedChild for each link to specify which viewStack component to navigate to, but links will not stay highlighted with regards to their given component. Is there a propery that will allow this? Also, is there a way to pass an ID instead of the string for a reference in a click event as shown below? Thanks, "event.id" does not work...I want to pass the id of the string and not the label. ******************************************************************** <mx:LinkBar click="{'vs.selectedChild=' + String(event.id)}" direction="vertical"> <mx:dataProvider> <mx:Array> <mx:String id="link1">Link 1</mx:String> <mx:String id="link2">Link 2</mx:String> </mx:Array> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:LinkBar> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
