I'm trying to create a viewstack with a linkbar to control it and when adding effects, I'm noticing some behaviour that probably indicates that I'm doing things totally wrong :)
One thing I want to do is have the <mx:LinkBar/> fade in and out depending on other things. I can do this no problem, except the text in the linkbar never fades in our out; it is always constant. The little seperator bars however fade in and out quite nicely :) Any idea why this is? Second, I'm trying to make it so when I fade in the LinkBar, the first item of the ViewStack also fades in. I do all this through some ActionScript in a sequence, by having the alpha of the viewstack set to 0 and then doing a Fade to 100. And this all works, except that all the text in whatever component is inside the viewstack is visible right away. I tried setting viewstack.visible=false and then it's hidden fine, but whenever I unhide it the text just pops into existance. I also set changeEffect=Fade on the ViewStack, and that seems to fade the text in properly. How do I get the effect I created to fade in the text properly like the changeEffect property does? I would also like to have the current item in the viewstack fade out before the next one fades in (currently fade just blinks the old component away and fades in the new one). Any idea on how to accomplish that?
