SuperTabBar

Package | flexlib.controls
Class | public class SuperTabBar
Inheritance | SuperTabBar mx.controls.TabBar

The SuperTabBar control extends the TabBar control and adds drag and drop functionality and closable tabs. <p>The SuperTabBar is used by the SuperTabNavigator component, or it can be used on its own to independentaly control a ViewStack. SuperTabBar does not control scrolling of tabs. Scrolling of tabs in the SuperTabNavigator is done by wrapping the SuperTabBar in a scrollable canvas component.</p>
