[AS 3] Yahoo! TabBar Component

I was just wondering at the ease of the Yahoo! component, so I modified their code to output simple tab data (just the page id).

import flash.events.Event;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.TabBar;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFieldType;
