Flex 4.7 Process bar

Question

I am starting now with Flex 4.7. I know I am a bit late. Anyway, I just want to ask an experts opinion on what would be the best implementation for a process bar. Not a progress bar, a process bar. Basically its a component on the bottom of the app that tells the user which steps to go through to get to a final result. This is very common on payment methods. You have the item description -> billing info -> shippment info -> overview. Hope you guys understand...

First I was thinking, I am going to use a graph component. But then after a while, I though I simplify and create a VGroup components where I add buttons. Each button is a step. Anyway, hope this is not to much of a basic question. I just want to hear the opinion from a Flex 4.7 expert. Any example?

Thanks

Answer 1

The solution that worked best for me was s:TabbedViewNavigator with a custom TabBar Skin. Using a scroller. Flex 4.6 TabbedViewNavigator - TabBar with indication of more items

That lead to the question how do I indicate more items on the side. I am working on it ;)

Answer 2

You could use a LinkBar with a > or » appended to each of its labels.
