And this takes a parameter that refers to a specific item. So before my Delete button handler, I check if any item is selected with the following: private function deleteHandler() { var bDoesNotHasFocus: Boolean = true; var len:Number = projectList.dataProvider.length; for (var i:int = 0; i <= len - 1; i++) { if (projectList.isItemSelected(projectList.dataProvider[i])) { bDoesNotHasFocus = false; } } if (bDoesNotHasFocus) return; // the code to delete } Is there a better way, anyone?
