Inheritance | TabNavigator ViewStack Container UIComponent FlexSprite flash.display.Sprite |
Implements | IFocusManagerComponent |
Like a ViewStack container, a TabNavigator container has a collection of child containers, in which only one child at a time is visible. Flex automatically creates a TabBar container at the top of the TabNavigator container, with a tab corresponding to each child container. Each tab can have its own label and icon. When the user clicks a tab, the corresponding child container becomes visible as the selected child of the TabNavigator container.
When you change the currently visible child container,
you can use the hideEffect
property of the container being
hidden and the showEffect
property of the newly visible child
container to apply an effect to the child containers.
The TabNavigator container waits for the hideEffect
of the
child container being hidden to complete before it reveals the new child
container.
You can interrupt a currently playing effect if you change the
selectedIndex
property of the TabNavigator container
while an effect is playing.
To define the appearance of tabs in a TabNavigator, you can define style properties in a Tab type selector, as the following example shows:
<mx:Style> Tab { fillColors: #006699, #cccc66; upSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); overSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); downSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); } </mx:Style>
The Tab type selector defines values on the hidden mx.controls.tabBarClasses.Tab class. The default values for the Tab type selector are defined in the defaults.css file.
You can also define the styles in a class selector that you specify using
the tabStyleName
style property; for example:
<mx:Style> TabNavigator { tabStyleName:myTabStyle; } .myTabStyle { fillColors: #006699, #cccc66; upSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); overSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); downSkin: ClassReference("CustomSkinClass"); } </mx:Style>
A TabNavigator container has the following default sizing characteristics:
Characteristic | Description |
---|---|
Default size | The default or explicit width and height of the first active child plus the tabs, at their default or explicit heights and widths. Default tab height is determined by the font, style, and skin applied to the TabNavigator container. |
Container resizing rules | By default, TabNavigator containers are only sized once to fit the size of the first child container. They do not resize when you navigate to other child containers. To force TabNavigator containers to resize when you navigate to a different child container, set the resizeToContent property to true. |
Child layout rules | If the child is larger than the TabNavigator container, it is clipped. If the child is smaller than the TabNavigator container, it is aligned to the upper-left corner of the TabNavigator container. |
Default padding | 0 pixels for the top, bottom, left, and right values. |
The <mx:TabNavigator>
tag inherits all of the
tag attributes of its superclass,
and adds the following tag attributes:
<mx:TabNavigator Styles fillAlphas="[0.60, 0.40, 0.75, 0.65]" fillColors="[0xFFFFFF, 0xCCCCCC, 0xFFFFFF, 0xEEEEEE]" firstTabStyleName="Value of thetabStyleName
property" focusAlpha="0.4" focusRoundedCorners="tl tr bl br" horizontalAlign="left|center|right" horizontalGap="-1" lastTabStyleName="Value of thetabStyleName
property" selectedTabTextStyleName="undefined" tabHeight="undefined" tabOffset="0" tabStyleName="Name of CSS style declaration that specifies styles for the tabs" tabWidth="undefined" > ... child tags ... </mx:TabNavigator>

TabNavigator | () | constructor |
public function TabNavigator()
Constructor.
getTabAt | () | method |
public function getTabAt(index:int):Button
Returns the tab of the navigator's TabBar control at the specified index.
Parametersindex:int — Index in the navigator's TabBar control.

|
measure | () | method |
protected override function measure():void
Calculates the default sizes and mininum and maximum values of this
TabNavigator container.
See the UIComponent.measure()
method for more information
about the measure()
method.
The TabNavigator container uses the same measurement logic as the
ViewStack
container, with two modifications:
First, it increases the value of the
measuredHeight
and
measuredMinHeight
properties to accomodate the tabs.
Second, it increases the value of the
measuredWidth
property if necessary
to ensure that each tab can be at least 30 pixels wide.

updateDisplayList | () | method |
protected override function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
Responds to size changes by setting the positions and sizes
of this container's tabs and children.
For more information about the updateDisplayList()
method,
see the UIComponent.updateDisplayList()
method.
A TabNavigator container positions its TabBar container at the top.
The width of the TabBar is set to the width of the
TabNavigator, and the height of the TabBar is set
based on the tabHeight
property.
A TabNavigator container positions and sizes its child containers underneath the TabBar, using the same logic as in ViewStack container.
ParametersunscaledWidth:Number — Specifies the width of the component, in pixels,
in the component's coordinates, regardless of the value of the
scaleX property of the component.
