I'd look at the Button code and see how it uses stateful skins. And I've found that using styles for this kind of thing works pretty well. You can either extend TileList to pass through the appropriate style into the component or you can look at my TileList_withStyle component, available at http://flexdiary.blogspot.com. Or you can just change the style declaration for your custom component on the fly to change the applicable style/state at runtime. HTH; Amy
