[flexcoders] Re: how to change the state of custom item renderer of list control on "itemFocu

[Claudiu Ursica]

I tried myself several times to get itemFocusIn on the list but it
doesn't for some strange reason. However you can have a state variable
on the parent of the list and send that to the renderer. Depending on
the type of renderer: inline set currentState =
{outerDocument.stateNameOrWhateverYouName It}, dropin rendere you
override the data setter, and access it via
parentDocument.stateNameOrWhateverYouName in the setter.

if you want a reference to the list form the renderer try this

var parentList : List = this.parent.parent as List; 

and if you want the current selected item index try this

var parentListDataProvider:ArrayCollection = parentList.dataProvider
as ArrayCollection;
var itemIndex:int = parentList.itemRendererToIndex(this);
