Can't get a handle on an instance of flexlib.controls.SuperTabBar

[skundu]

I have an Application building Tabs of the fly, in two different ways 1) Using the class mx.controls.tabBarClasses.Tab and
2) Using flexlib.controls.SuperTabBar class and then flexlib.controls.tabBarClasses.SuperTab

Approach 1) works fine - In that, I can get a handle on the Tab Object via UI.as in the Melomel Library

Approach 2) doesn't work. That is I keep getting the no object error. What is it with the class "flexlib.controls.SuperTabBar", that is causing this?

Thanks!
