Thanks for the replies everyone. My app/TN actually has 8 states/tabs,
but I still ended up going with the simple approach. In case anyone is
interested, the code is below. Further thoughts still welcome.
<mx:TabNavigator id="tn" change="updateActiveTabIndex()"
selectedIndex="{ModelLocator.getInstance().activeTabIndex}">
<view:SearchTab label="Search" id="searchTab" width="100%"
height="100%" />
<view:DocumentTab label="Document" id="documentTab" width="100%"
height="100%" />
<!-- More tabs here -->
</mx:TabNavigator>
And the function that keeps my model updated when the tabs are
directly clicked:
private function updateActiveTabIndex():void
{
ModelLocator.getInstance().activeTabIndex = tn.selectedIndex;
}
And the types of commands I make from other parts of the app:
ModelLocator.getInstance().activeTabIndex = ModelLocator.DOCUMENT_TAB;
Cheers,
Ben
