Try something like this….

linkBar.invalidateDisplayList();
linkBar.selectedIndex = 2

It works for ToggleButtonBar

I’m trying to remove all spacing between linkbar link buttons, I have a design that calls for the links to be stacked vertically with 5px of space between them, I’ve cleared out all padding, for the linkbuttonstyles, and removed vertical gap, and set separator width to zero. What am I missing it seems like this shouldn’t be that hard? Any help is much appreciated thanks!

Helps is I use the right tags… ;)

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<mx:LinkBar xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” itemClick=”myFunc(event)”>

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

import mx.events.ItemClickEvent;
import mx.controls.Button;

private function myFunc(event:ItemClickEvent):void
{
var n:int = this.numChildren;
for (var i:int = 0; i
</mx:Script>

</mx:LinkBar>

This allows you to use the LinkBar without a viewstack when selecting an index…

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…
