How to iterate over tabs in flex tabbar

Hi, I am a flex newbie. I need to disable some of the tabs in a flex tabbar specified, by configuration. I am having trouble in iterating over the tabs in the tab bar. If i use getChildAt() command, it does not disable the tab button, but the content of that tab button, so its no good.

Thanks and regards, Mohit Ranka

From stackoverflow

• why not use a bindable to your configuration?

  something like

     enabled="{yourConfiguration.lastResult.enabled}"
  

  Mohit Ranka : because the requirement is more complex than this. bottleneck is i do not know how to iterate over tabs in tab bar.

• When asking about code, always post a minimal test case. getChildAt() will work, so there's something else going on with your code.

  <mx:Script>
      <![CDATA[
          import mx.events.ItemClickEvent;
          import mx.controls.tabBarClasses.Tab;
          private function clickTab(event:ItemClickEvent):void {
              var target:TabBar = event.currentTarget as TabBar;
              var currTab:Tab;
              var parity:int = event.index & 1;
              /* disable all tabs at indices w/ same parity as clicked tab;
                 enable tabs of opposite parity.
               */
              for (var i=0; i<target.numChildren; ++i) {
                 currTab = target.getChildAt(i) as Tab;
                 currTab.enabled = (i&1)^parity;
              }
          }
      ]]>
  </mx:Script>
  
  <mx:TabBar id="someTabs" itemClick="clickTab(event)">
      <mx:dataProvider>
       <mx:String>Foo</mx:String>
       <mx:String>Bar</mx:String>
       <mx:String>Baz</mx:String>
       <mx:String>Bam</mx:String>
      </mx:dataProvider>
  </mx:TabBar>
