RE: [flexcoders]How to change the selectedIndex of a LinkBar
I don't use LinkBar because it is too limiting. If I need the links dataDriven, I use LinkButtons in a Repeater, otherwise I just use LinkButtons declared individually. LinkButtons call a nav function, which changes the styleName of the previously selected LinkButton(ref stored in instance variable) to a "normal" style, and the currently clicked LinkButton to a "selected" style.
