I would like to have a LinkButton programmatically selected.
So I have a code like this:
<mx:LinkButton label="hello42" selected="{isHello42}"/>
isHello42 is true but the LinkButtons doesn’t look like it’s selected.
Do I have to change the complete skin to achieve that the LinkButton look like it’s selected?
Here it look like setting selected=true should work: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/09/06/creating-a-toggleable-linkbutton-control-in-flex/
