I have a tabNavigator with 3 mx:Canvas tabs, each containing a dataGrid for a different user/customer. Above the tabNavigator you can select up to 3 different users/customers, and this populates the associated grid in the tabNavigator. Pretty straightforward -- *except* that I don't want the tabs in the tabNavigator to be visible until you've selected a user/customer above.
I tried setting the visible property of my mx:Canvas containers, but the tab still shows up regardless of whether the child is visible or not. Is there a way to prevent tabs in the tabNavigator from showing up? I could always dynamically add/remove the child mx:Canvas objects via actionscript, but in this case it's always 0-3 and I'd rather just create 3 mx:Canvas objects in MXML and then show/hide them as needed. I'm just baffled that visible="false" on the mx:Canvas child objects doesn't take away the tab in the tabNavigator! Is this by design?
