What am I doing wrong for a LinkBar

[Kim Hoopingarner]

I've posted a very simple program below.  And it doesn't work as I thought it should.  Simply - I want to be able to bind a dynamic array to the link bar.  When I run this - I got the linkbar with no TEST 1 showing.  I'm sure this is a silly problem - 101, right?

Thanks for your advice!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init();">
 
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
                [Bindable] private var aLanguage:Array = new Array();
               
                private function init():void{
                        aLanguage.push("Test 1");
                }
        ]]>
</mx:Script>
       
<mx:Canvas>
        <mx:LinkBar id="tbbLanguage" dataProvider="{aLanguage}" width="294" color="#ffffff" backgroundColor="#000000"/>
</mx:Canvas>

</mx:Application>

The issue is that Array objects aren't don't trigger binding execution
when they are changed.  You'll need to use an ArrayCollection instead
(or trigger the binding execution manually).
