RE: [flexcoders] using a linkbar with a viewstack... how can you indicate current selection

[Joan Lafferty]

There is no specific style on LinkBar that you can use. Instead, since the LinkBar is just a parent for a bunch of LinkButton’s, you can use getChildAt on your LinkBar to control the styles on the individual LinkButtons.   Here is some code you can use to change the color of text of your selected item:   private function changeColor() : void {     var n:int = mylb.numChildren;     var lb1:*;     ta.text = 'hello';     for(var i:int=0; i < n; i++)     {         lb1 = mylb.getChildAt(i);                 lb1.setStyle('color', 0x000000);     }       lb1 = mylb.getChildAt(mylb.selectedIndex);     lb1.setStyle('color', 0xFF0000); }     <mx:LinkBar id="mylb" itemClick="changeColor()">    <mx:dataProvider>       <mx:String>Yes</mx:String>       <mx:String>No</mx:String>       <mx:String>Maybe</mx:String>    </mx:dataProvider> </mx:LinkBar>   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of hank williams Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 9:57 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] using a linkbar with a viewstack... how can you indicate current selection   a linkbar is a recommended way to control a viewstack. But I want to be able to show the user the currently selected view. I am not clear whether the linkbar is supposed to allow this. When I try to initially set the selectedIndex to 0 I get an error indicating that it is out of range. I know I could use a tabBar, but I like the simple blocks of text without the "tabby" look and feel. So I guess my question is, is it possible to use the linkbar where one item is, for example, a different color than the others, indicating that that is the currently selected item?
