One Response to Setting the button link corner radius on a Flex LinkBar control

    Hi, I’m a newbie in flex. How can you make a linkbutton functioning like a Vscrollbar. I mean two linkbuttons. 1 for scrolling up and 1 for scrolling down and vice versa. And when I click and hold the up linkbutton it must scroll continuously. Because as I’m doing a work around for this i cannot do the scroll when i click and hold the linkbutton. you must click it again and again to continue scroll. thanks in advance.
