Hi

I don't want a roll-over colour change in the back-ground of my linkbar. The
linkbar is used on different colour backgrounds, so I can't simply set the
rollOverColor to the same as the background. Is there any way of styling or
over-riding the rollOverColor?

Thanks in advance

This works if you explicitly set the backgroundColor of the LinkBar:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:LinkBar id="lb" borderStyle="solid"
itemClick="navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com/' +
String(event.label).toLowerCase()), '_blank');"
backgroundColor="blue"
rollOverColor="{lb.getStyle('backgroundColor')}"
selectionColor="{lb.getStyle('backgroundColor')}">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:String>Flash</mx:String>
<mx:String>Director</mx:String>
<mx:String>Dreamweaver</mx:String>
<mx:String>ColdFusion</mx:String>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:LinkBar>
<mx:LinkBar id="lb2" borderStyle="solid"
itemClick="navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com/' +
String(event.label).toLowerCase()), '_blank');"
backgroundColor="purple"
rollOverColor="{lb2.getStyle('backgroundColor')}"
selectionColor="{lb2.getStyle('backgroundColor')}" >
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:String>Flash</mx:String>
<mx:String>Director</mx:String>
<mx:String>Dreamweaver</mx:String>
<mx:String>ColdFusion</mx:String>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:LinkBar>
<mx:LinkBar id="lb3" borderStyle="solid"
itemClick="navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com/' +
String(event.label).toLowerCase()), '_blank');"
backgroundColor="red"
rollOverColor="{lb3.getStyle('backgroundColor')}"
selectionColor="{lb3.getStyle('backgroundColor')}" >
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:String>Flash</mx:String>
<mx:String>Director</mx:String>
<mx:String>Dreamweaver</mx:String>
<mx:String>ColdFusion</mx:String>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:LinkBar>
</mx:Application>

I'm trying to do the same thing, but can't use the above suggestion because the
background color is a gradient (thus using the background color as the rollover
won't look right). Is there a way to override the rollOverColor to be
transparent? I thought I could extend LinkBar, but can't find any functions in
there that use the rollOverColor, so I'm not sure what function to override.

Thanks!
