Actually, a TabBar holds Tabs which are buttons. Do you want to create TabNavigators instead? They hold Canvases.

I'm trying to loop through a ArrayCollection and make a TabBar for each item This fails miserably - "Cant convert Canvas to Button" - I've been staring at this all day today (it's almost 10pm here in Denmark now). So I'd be very please if some of you guys could have a look - propably some stupid mistake or misunderstanding. But it just dont work... for (var i:int=0; i<dp.length; i++) { // First we make a new tabbar for the tiles var newTB:TabBar = new TabBar(); newTB.id = 'tabbar'+ dp[i].id; newTB.percentWidth = 100; // Then we make a canvas to hold the items var newCV:Canvas = new Canvas(); newCV.id = 'canvas'+ dp[i].id; newCV.percentWidth = 100; newCV.label = dp[i].orgname; // Then we make a new TileList var newTL:TileList = new TileList(); newTL.id = 'tilelist'+ dp[i]; newTL.percentWidth = 100; newTL.itemRenderer = projectTile as IFactory; newTL.dataProvider = dp; newCV.addChild( newTL ); newTB.addChild( newCV ); pageOverviewVBox. addChild( newTB ); // This is a VBox. } Also... when this finally works for me - how can I set what itemrenderer the tilelist should use ?? Also failed :-| Thanks for your time Mark ________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
