I am attempting to create a Flex component based on a combination of
Flexlib's SuperTabBar and ButtonScrollingCanvas components. The
intended result is to be a component that looks and behaves similar to
the tab bar, described in "SuperTabNavigator_Sample.mxml" as
the "example using just the SuperTabBar without the entire TabNavigator
component." In the compiled SWF, this scrolling tab bar example is
displayed at the bottom of the browser window.
However, I am having troubles getting the dataProvider to work
correctly. The only method that has been successful in the setting the
SuperTabBar's dataProvider correctly has been when using an mxml
dataProvider tag with string objects populating the tag.
If I attempt to create an array of those same strings and
programmatically pass this array to the dataProvider setter, by either
calling the setter or by using the dataProvider tag
attribute ...dataProvider="{theArray}"... the result, as displayed in
the component, is a single blank tab.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
