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)

Interesting  - thanks Taka.

You will have to use localToGlobal, but first things first...

You are correct, selectedItem returns an Object, not a DisplayObject,
however I am pretty sure you can do

list.getChildAt(list.selectedIndex) to get the display object, and then go
from there.


That didn't seem to work - I don't think there's a direct relationship
between the components that make up the list and the list elements
themselves.

Thanks for the suggestion though Taka.

Not sure, but have you looked into : localToGlobal?




Yes, I did, but no luck. I will check again.

Subject: [Flashcoders] (x,y) position of selectedItem in a list - AS3

AS3:

Is it possible to find the (x,y) position on the stage of a selectedItem
in a list?

The selectedItem property returns an Object and I don't think it's
DisplayObject.

Any suggestions?

Paul
