If the tabbar is bound to the viewstack as a dataprovider, you can manipulate properties of the tabbar / tab based on what the currently selected child in the viewstack is.
I'm using a similar approach to set the style of the selected tab so that it's background colour matches the selected child when the show event fires I call a function which executes the following: tbNavigate.setStyle("tabStyleName","tab" + vsContent.selectedChild.id); That same approach should allow you to manipulate the tab / data that you want no? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "zzwi89" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anyone know how to retrive a tab from a TabBar?
