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>

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?
