Read the itemrenderer posts on my blog (blogs.adobe.com/aharui). Renderers get recycled and only enough renderers to display the visible items are created, so using creationCOmplete is rarely useful.

(Changing the state prompts imageRend to start retrieving related images, and 'loaded' swaps out a placer image with the required one.) So far so good, but what I really want to do is load up the first few images, and then react to user clicks (hence the 'inView' reference) to load up further images i.e. 13 onwards. I have tried traversing, using the objects parent property, and then getChildAt/getChildIndex combinations, as a basis for finding the current position + 12, but I am just guessing and its getting me nowhere. Thanks for any help in advance.
