SelecedIndex of tabnavigator is appended to url

Question

In my flex application when I added a tabnavigator control and ran the application, I found that a "#" was appended to the url in the browser and whenever I select one of the tabs the url changes to this "myurl#app=7049&c152-selectedIndex=1" reflecting the index of the selected tab, is this a normal behavior of the tabnavigator, is there a way of removing it?

Thanks

Answer 1

It's a browser navigation integration related feature. You can disable it by going to project properties -> flex Compiler, and uncheck "Enable integration with browser navigation".

Set historyManagementEnabled property of the TabNavigator to "false"
