What's My Title Today?

So there doesn't seem to be any item click or tab click event on the tab navigator in Flex. I find this sort of annoying, I mean surely this would be useful and should be included? When searching all I could find was people saying to either use the change event on the tab navigator, (which didn't help me because I wanted my method to run even if you clicked on the currently selected tab) or to use a tab bar instead (which also didn't help me because I am using the SuperTabNavigator from flexlib). What I am doing is basically maximizing the tab when it is clicked, and minimizing it if it is clicked again. I found a solution. http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=135539 (post by stburns). You basically get the tab's button. It sounds weird, here's the code to how it works. private function creationComplete():void { for (var i:int=0; i<myTabNav.getChildren().length; i++) { var tab:Button = myTabNav.getTabAt(i); tab.ad...

So I have this dashboard project I'm working on. What I am trying to do is have a TabNavigator that is about half the screen, but give it a maximize button, so that if clicked it fills the whole screen. Sounds easy enough, I've done it with a Panel, but unfortunately it seemed a little too tricky for me and my high design : moderate coding skills. So to Google I went. You know what annoys me? People who blog about this kind of thing, show the awesome component they created, and don't share even a bit of code. That's what I found. Ugh. I did however discover that flexLib has something called a SuperTabNavigator. The SuperTabNavigator has a close button on each tab, so I figured, maybe I can extend this, better than starting from scratch. It wasn't even as difficult as extending it. It is actually pretty easy to customize. Yay for flexLib. Here are some actual CODE EXAMPLES of what I did. First you need the flexLib library. http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/downloads/...
