The following image shows a TabbedViewNavigator with three sections: Employees, Contacts, and Search:
The TabbedViewNavigatorApplication container automatically creates
a single TabbedViewNavigator container for the entire application.
You can reference the TabbedViewNavigator object by using the navigator
property of the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication container.
The active or selected navigator can be changed by clicking the corresponding
tab in the TabBar or by changing the selectedIndex property of
the component.
The contents of a child view navigator is destroyed when it is deactivate, and dynamically created when activated.

Skin Parts
This component uses skins made up of skin parts. Do not set the skin parts directly. The component's skin sets the skin parts.
| Skin Part | Description | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Required: false Part Type: Static Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 4 Runtime Versions: Flash10, AIR 1.5 An optional skin part that defines the Group where the content children get pushed into and laid out. | SkinnableContainer | ||
tabBar:ButtonBarBase | Required: false Part Type: Static Language Version: ActionScript 3.0 Product Version: Flex 4.5 Runtime Versions: AIR2.5, A skin part that defines the tab bar of the navigator. | TabbedViewNavigator | ||
Skin States
To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.
Public Constants
Property Detail
length | property |
navigators | property |
navigators:Vector.<ViewNavigatorBase>| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
The view navigators that are managed by this TabbedViewNavigator.
Each view navigator is represented as a tab in the tab bar
of this TabbedViewNavigator.
Only one view navigator can be active at a time.
You can reference the active view navigator by using
the selectedNavigator property.
Changing this property causes the current view navigator to be removed,
and sets the selectedIndex to 0.
This operation cannot be canceled and is committed immediately.
Implementation
public function get navigators():Vector.<ViewNavigatorBase> public function set navigators(value:Vector.<ViewNavigatorBase>):void selectedIndex | property |
selectedIndex:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
The 0-based index of the selected view navigator, or -1 if none is selected.
Setting the selectedIndex property deselects the currently selected
navigator and selects the navigator at the specified index.
The value is always between -1 and (navigators.length - 1).
If items at a lower index than selectedIndex are
removed from the component, the selected index is adjusted downward
accordingly.
If the selected item is removed, the selected index is set to:
- -1 if there are no remaining items.
selectedIndex- 1 if there is at least one item.
The default value is -1.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the valueCommit event.
Implementation
public function get selectedIndex():int public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void selectedNavigator | property |
selectedNavigator:ViewNavigatorBase [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
The selected view navigator for the TabbedViewNavigator.
Only one view navigator can be active at a time.
The active view navigator can be set by changing the
selectedIndex property or by selecting
a tab in the TabBar control.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the change event.

Event Detail
change | Event |
Event Object Type:
property IndexChangeEvent.type =
spark.events.IndexChangeEventproperty IndexChangeEvent.type =
spark.events.IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
Dispatched when the current view navigator changes as a result of
a change to the selectedIndex property or a change
to the selected tab in the TabBar control.
IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a change event,
which indicates that an index has changed, such as when a List-based control
changes its selection.
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. |
newIndex | The zero-based index after the change. |
oldIndex | The zero-based index before the change. |
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. |
Type | IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE |

Event Object Type:
property IndexChangeEvent.type =
spark.events.IndexChangeEventproperty IndexChangeEvent.type =
spark.events.IndexChangeEvent.CHANGING| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
Dispatched before the selected view navigator is changed. Canceling this event prevents the active view navigator from changing.
TheIndexChangeEvent.CHANGING constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a changing event,
which indicates that the current selection is about to change.
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. |
newIndex | The zero-based index of the selected item after the change. |
oldIndex | The zero-based index of the selected item before the change. |
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. |
Type | IndexChangeEvent.CHANGING |
collectionChange | Event |
Event Object Type:
property CollectionEvent.type =
mx.events.CollectionEventproperty CollectionEvent.type =
mx.events.CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.5 |
Dispatched when the collection of view navigators managed by the TabbedViewNavigator changes.
The CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE constant defines the value of thetype property of the event object for an event that is
dispatched when a collection has changed.
The properties of the event object have the following values. Not all properties are meaningful for all kinds of events. See the detailed property descriptions for more information.
| 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. |
items | An Array of objects with
information about the items affected by the event.
The contents of this field depend on the event kind;
for details see the items property |
kind | The kind of event. The valid values are defined in the CollectionEventKind class as constants. |
location | Location within the target collection
of the item(s) specified in the items property. |
oldLocation | the previous location in the collection
of the item specified in the items property. |
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. |

valueCommit | Event |
Event Object Type:
property FlexEvent.type =
mx.events.FlexEventproperty FlexEvent.type =
mx.events.FlexEvent.VALUE_COMMIT| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4.5 |

event.
The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
