Use a boolean flag to track whether the LinkBar has already received its first click (in which case play the move effect) or not.
private var clickedOnce:Boolean = false; private function handleClick(event:ItemClickEvent):void { if (!clickedOnce) { //play the move effect, this is the first click clickedOnce = true; } else //no move effect - these are subsequent clicks } You can control when you want that specific effect to play by controlling the value of the flag. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ric Aruffo Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 11:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] moving a LinkBar I have a LinkBar that I need to move from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen when the user clicks on one of the items in the LinkBar. Then once it gets to where it's going, disable the "move effect" so that it doesn't get repeated when the user clicks another item in the same LinkBar. Thanks, Ric
