Hi Tom,
Thanks for replying. Yes, I have played with the Flex Style Explorer
and find it really cool and useful for lots of styling. 

Unfortunately, it seems that the SELECTED tab can only be styled using
backgroundColor. The non-selected tabs can use gradient fills, which
is what I'd like for the selected tab. I've tried to figure out a way
to skin it with an image (ideal) or get to it through another property
without success.

My workaround doesn't really get me what I want, but what I've done is
set a backgroundImage on the TabBar component (backgroundSize=100%)
and then set the selected tab to be transparent so that the background
image comes through when it's selected. That works...okay...but I'd
really like to control the background colors of the selected tabs
individually. Maybe Flex 3.

Thanks again,
Bruce
