Change the color of LinkBar when mouseDown.

[Shelady]

Hi,
When inserting a LinkBar, by default when you click on a link, it turns the
background of that item blue. I want it yellow. Which property should I change
to get the appropriate results?
Thanks

You may need to do something different for individual LinkBars.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- controls\bar\LBarSimple.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:LinkBar id="lb" borderStyle="solid"
mouseDown="StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration('LinkB ar').setStyle('backgroundColor
','#ffccee')"
itemClick="navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com/' +
String(event.label).toLowerCase()), '_blank');">
<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 tried this code but it is changing the whole link bar color when I click on
one item. I want when I click on a link, only the background of "that link"
changes from default blue to yellow.

Any idea!!!!!

selectionColor seems to do it.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- controls\bar\LBarSimple.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:LinkBar id="lb" borderStyle="solid"
selectionColor="#ffccee"
itemClick="navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com/' +
String(event.label).toLowerCase()), '_blank');">
<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>
