OK, we've all done it, made custom gradients for highlight fills in list itemRenderers, the way I do it is to use properties in my valueObjects. So, I set a property called highlighted or selected on my value object when one item is highlighted or selected I loop over the rest of my objects in the collection and set their highlight or selected value to false, in turn, which dispatches an event to remove my custom gradient. I follow the same the way List component does to get the indexToItemRenderer formula. While this works perfectly for selected items, I do notice a little edge case buggyness on highlight fills... Sometimes, my mouseOvers don't seem make my other itemRenderers show their highlighted fill color... Usually when I rollout of my list and roll back in real quick.
Any suggestions on this, I obsess and keep going through the logic and keep trying a slightly different approach. First, is there a better way to draw a greadient into an itemRenderer that I don't know about, by like drawing in the sprite or something... Second, if there isn't has anybody got this to work aboslutely perfectly. I'd love to hear from you and I'd be happy to show you what I've done...
