Apparently the visual selection in a LinkBar only works when its dataprovider is a collection of DisplayObjects (e.g. ViewStack).
The ViewStack doesn't even have to be visually present (it has to be on the display list though), so the following will work ;-) <mx:LinkBar id="_lbar" dataProvider="_vstack" /> <mx:ViewStack id="_vstack" includeInLayout="false" visible="false"> <mx:Canvas label="Item 1" /> <mx:Canvas label="Item 2" /> <mx:Canvas label="Item 3" /> </mx:ViewStack> And of course you can extend LinkBar or NavBar and make it work properly with non display objects. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "dorkie dork from dorktown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 7:13 PM Subject: [flexcoders]How to change the selectedIndex of a LinkBar > No matter what I try I cannot change the "selected" item in the linkbar.
