I'm not quite sure I understand what your query is, but... If what you are trying to do is have the textDecoration that is applied on the dataProvider to a LinkBar carry over to the LinkBar, you're out of luck.
Like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"> <mx:Panel title="Link Bar Panel"> <mx:LinkBar dataProvider="{ myStack }" textDecoration="none" /> <mx:ViewStack id="myStack"> <mx:HBox label="tab 1" textDecoration="underline"> <mx:Text text="Text in 1" textDecoration="underline" /> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox label="tab 2" textDecoration="underline"> <mx:Text text="Text in 2" /> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox label="tab 3" textDecoration="none"> <mx:Text text="Text in 3" textDecoration="underline" /> </mx:HBox> </mx:ViewStack> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> The LinkBar is using the ViewStack as its dataProvider. There is not a parent child relationship there so inheritance can not happen. Only the label and icon properties of the ViewStack's children are passed to the LinkBar.

I would like to insert some Links in a LinkBar that do not inherit the textDecoration attribute from the parent LinkBar. Setting the individual Links textDecoration has no effect, they all use the parent's attribute. Would anyone have any idea how to do this? Maybe somebody from Adobe/MM could provide a suggestion?
