Phew, I finally found the solution. In my custom control, I needed to override the set data function and perform updates on the item in there. I ended up creating an mxml component for the renderer that looked like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.FlexEvent; override public function set data(value:Object):void { if(value != null) { super.data = value; itemBullet.source = value.bullet; itemTitle.setStyle('color', value.color); } // Dispatch the dataChange event. dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE)); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label id="itemTitle" text="{data.title}" /> <mx:Image id="itemBullet" right="0" y="2"/> </mx:Canvas> In the calling application, when an item is selected, a function updates the data so that the selected row has the 'selected' icon and color and the non-selected items have the 'non-selected' icon and color - the change in the data automatically triggers the overridden set data method (above). It would be better if I could figure out whether the item was selected or not within the renderer component thus not needing the nonsense outside code. This works for now though and it's time for tea :) Dominic -- Blog it up: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/message.cfm/messageid:5282 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.37
