| dataProvider | property |
dataProvider:Object [read-write] Data used to populate the navigator control. The type of data can either be a ViewStack container or an Array.
When you use a ViewStack container, the label
and icon properties of the ViewStack container's children
are used to populate the navigation items,
as in the following example:
<mx:LinkBar dataProvider="{vs}"/>
<mx:ViewStack id="vs">
<mx:VBox label="Accounts" icon="account_icon"/>
<mx:VBox label="Leads" icon="leads_icon"/>
</mx:ViewStack>
The LinkBar control contains two links: "Accounts" and "Leads," each with its own icon as specified on the VBox tags. When you click a link, the ViewStack container navigates to the corresponding view.
When you use an Array, the labelField property
determines the name of the dataProvider field
to use as the label for each navigation item; the iconField
property determines the name of the dataProvider field
to use as the icon for each navigation item.
If you use an Array of Strings, the labelField
property is ignored.
The default value is "undefined".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get dataProvider():Object
public function set dataProvider(value:Object):void
| iconField | property |
iconField:String [read-write]
Name of the field in the dataProvider object
to display as the icon for each navigation item.
The default value is "icon".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get iconField():String
public function set iconField(value:String):void
| labelField | property |
labelField:String [read-write]
Name of the field in the dataProvider object
to display as the label for each navigation item.
The default value is "label".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get labelField():String
public function set labelField(value:String):void
| labelFunction | property |
labelFunction:Function [read-write]
A user-supplied function to run on each item to determine its label.
By default, the component looks for a property named label
on each data provider item and displays it.
However, some data sets do not have a label property
nor do they have another property that can be used for displaying.
An example is a data set that has lastName and firstName fields
but you want to display full names.
You can supply a labelFunction that finds the
appropriate fields and returns a displayable string. The
labelFunction is also good for handling formatting and
localization.
For most components, the label function takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String.
myLabelFunction(item:Object):String
The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get labelFunction():Function
public function set labelFunction(value:Function):void
| selectedIndex | property |
selectedIndex:int [read-write] Index of the active navigation item, where the first item is at an index of 0.
The default value is -1.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get selectedIndex():int
public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void
| toolTipField | property |
toolTipField:String [read-write]
Name of the the field in the dataProvider object
to display as the tooltip label.
The default value is "toolTip".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
public function get toolTipField():String
public function set toolTipField(value:String):void

| itemClick | Event |
mx.events.ItemClickEvent
mx.events.ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK
Dispatched when a navigation item is selected.
TheItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for an itemClick event.
The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | false |
currentTarget | The Object that defines the
event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use
myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener,
myButton is the value of the currentTarget. |
index | The index of the navigation item that was clicked. |
item | The item in the data provider of the navigation item that was clicked. |
label | The label of the navigation item that was clicked. |
relatedObject | The child object that generated the event. |
target | The Object that dispatched the event;
it is not always the Object listening for the event.
Use the currentTarget property to always access the
Object listening for the event. |
