styleName is not a property, it is a style. You have to use setStyle(); Also, debug your loop, make sure you have a good refrence to the button.

Hi Tracy, I can get it to work as a var, but when I try to access the Array, I get: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is my array: [Bindable] private var buttons:Array = new Array("test001", "test002", "test003"); for each(var target:String in buttons) { this[target].styleName = linkButton; } Thanks again! :) ________________________________________ From: Tracy Spratt <tspr...@lariatinc.com> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 5:15:22 PM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames. Yes, sailorsea, see that link. Also, be careful of terminology. I said "store references". This is not the same as storing "IDs". You can do this using ids, with bracket notation. var sId:String = "test001"; this[sId].setStyle( ); //should work Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available ________________________________________ From: flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Ryan Graham Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 5:08 PM To: flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames.

Store references to each in an Array, then loop over the array.

I have a series of 3 linkButtons. I am able to switch the styleName of a linkButton when I click on it as follows: [Bindable] private var linkButton:String = 'linkButton' ; [Bindable] private var linkButtonOff: String = 'linkButtonOff' ; <mx:LinkButton id="test001" label="001" styleName="{ linkButton} " buttonMode=" true" click="setType( event)"/> <mx:LinkButton id="test002" label="002" styleName="{ linkButton} " buttonMode=" true" click="setType( event)"/> <mx:LinkButton id="test003" label="003" styleName="{ linkButton} " buttonMode=" true" click="setType( event)"/> private function setType(result: Event):void { result.currentTarge t.styleName = linkButtonOff; } How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames to "{linkButton} " when a linkButton is clicked?
