Looks like the MX LinkButton control's skin's up state doesnt handle non-default sized hit areas very well. Peter Although I did notice this issue; http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25707

Not sure if you’re running in to that. Looks like the MX LinkButton control’s skin’s up state doesnt handle non-default sized hit areas very well.

Thanks, Chris Hi Peter,
I’m trying to set the rollOverColor property on a Halo LinkButton in MXML, without success.
e.g.,

<mx:LinkButton label="Link" rollOverColor="#ff0000" />

The rollover colour displays correctly in Flex SDK 3.5, but seems to be ignored in Flex 4 (Beta 2 release).
Thanks,
Chris
