I just finished creating a large online flex app with 43 different screens. I am using a mx:MenuBar with four main menus and a couple of submenus to navigate between these screens. I am now trying to convert this into a iPad app as well, but the mx:MenuBar does not appear to be supported in mobile flex. Is there any way I can replicate this sort of navigation system in mobile flex? The user needs to be able to move between any of these pages at any time, and 43 tabs will obviously not work!
Thanks!
No, 43 tabs will obviously not work. You could make a scrollable tab bar, but from a usability point of view, I’d recommend against such a thing.
How about some sort of grouping the 43 tabs and then use a ButtonBar to create your tabs? To access sub-tabs, you could use a Callout. The ButtonBar would then be linked to your ViewNavigator.
