Tab Navigator Question

Question

I have created a <mx:TabNavigator> with a few <s:NavigaortContent> children.  On creationComplete of the applicaiton, I set the selectedIndex of the navigator, depending on the currentState.
When I run the applicaiton, I see the correct content for the set selectedIndex, but the tabs at the top show that tab 0 is selected (so the visually selected tab does not match the content of the selectedIndex).
Am I missing something?  I don't recall this being all that difficult of a thing to do.
Thanks!

OK - I have each navigator content labelled... Here is the code I'm using if that helps out...
<mx:TabNavigator width="90%" height="90%" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" id="navTabs" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" change="tabChanged()">
        <s:NavigatorContent id="tnHome" label="Home" width="100%" height="100%" includeIn="administrator,default,student" >
               <!-- my content is here -->
        </s:NavigatorContent>
        <s:NavigatorContent includeIn="default, student,administrator" label="About" width="100%" height="100%" id="tnAbout">
                <!-- my content is here -->
        </s:NavigatorContent>
</mx:TabNavigator>
private function initApp():void
     if ( user.role == "student" ) {
          currentState = "student";
          navTabs.selectedIndex = 0;
          Alert.show("you are a student");
   else if ( user.role == "admin" ) {
         currentState = "administrator";
         navTabs.selectedIndex = 1;
protected function tabChanged():void
                switch(navTabs.selectedIndex) {
                    case 0 : //home
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        break;
                    case 2: //Courses
                        courses.getAllList();
                        break;
                    case 3: //My Training
                        //from here, we want to get get any/all registrations and history
                        break;
                    case 4: //Resource
                        courses.getAllResources();
                        break;
                    case 5: // Administration
                        break;
So, when I enter in with the role of admin, I see the content of the About tab, but the 'selected tab' at the top is still the Home tab.   Hope that clears up my problem.
Thanks!
