I have an application whereby I am creating tabs in a TabNavigator dynamically. As you can see as per my codes I am basically having 5 tabs with specific names. Now I also have 5 mxml components with the same names as the tabs (that is the names of the mxml components are same as the tabs, that is Tab1,Tab2 etc. The non-dynamic way would be to use myTab1:Tab1 = new Tab1();myTab1:Tab2 = new Tab2); etc. Thus I will have to do this for each tab which I don't want. What I want to do is to load the mxml components in each tab while I am looping through the Array. Hope I am clear enough.

protected function tabNavigator_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
var superModules:Array =["Tab1","Tab2","Tab3","Tab4","Tab5"];
for each (var superModule in superModules)
{
var myNavigatorContent:NavigatorContent = new NavigatorContent();
myNavigatorContent.percentHeight = 100;
myNavigatorContent.percentWidth = 100;
myNavigatorContent.label = superModule;
myNavigatorContent.addChild(superModule as DisplayObject);
tabNavigator.addChild(myNavigatorContent);
}
}

</s:Application>
Can somebody help on achieving this.
Many thanks.
