You can try this code:

linkBar.dataProvider=null;
linkBar.dataProvider=arr;
linkBar.selectedIndex=event.index;

True this will not work "linkBar.selectedIndex = some_value". To do this make your own custom linkbar let say call it myLinkBar ========================================================================== ========================================================================== And then in the itemClick (itemClick="myFunc(event)") do the following:-

private function myFunc(event:ItemClickEvent):void
{
    mylinkbar.setIndex(event.index);
}

It seems that linkBar.selectedIndex = some_value is not supported if the linkbar is not paired with a viewstack, which is also the implicit dataprovider, thus the issue mentioned above.
It’s a bit of a pain…

There is a bug, try to click on the LinkBar’s items then use the slider : several items can be selected !
to be honnest, i fixed the problem by setting the ‘enabled’ property of each LinkButton to false, except the one that should be selected.
