Hi All,

I've posted this to the flex forums as well. I'd like help with ideas
on how to extend TabNavigator to include a "more" button, for when
there are too many tabs.

I'm a bit in the dark when it comes to depthy depths of the Flex
framework, and need to make some interesting changes to a TabNavigator
component in an application under development.

In this case it's a single TabNavigator, but with a *lot* of tabs.
Enough for them to be truncated down to the minimum (30 pixels or so),
and just fit on the screen. The problem is with the squishy truncation
part. I don't want that to happen.

I want the tabs to match the width of the text on their respective
titles. In addition to this, the final tab needs to be a "more" tab,
which should "scroll across" in effect, revealing the remaining tabs.
The button is prepended and the same effect achieved in reverse when
the user wants to return to the tabs at the start.

I'm looking at the Source for the ButtonBar right now, but I'm not
getting very far in terms of understanding where to look. I know it
sources buttons from it's dataProvider.

Is it possible to draw these buttons offscreen and have them slide into view?

That said, does anyone know a clever way of accomplishing this or know
someplace I could look where it's already implemented?

Any clues/hints/ideas would be much appreciated =)

Best Regards,
Ciarán
