So I did some object introspection and found that List (or SelectableList rather, which is the class List extends), has a protected property called "list" which has all the list item DisplayObjects, so what you will have to do is create a custom component that extends list and then accesses that protected "list" property, using list.getChildAt(selectedIndex)
