Thanks so much for helping me out valdhor. I've been racking my brains trying
to find it. I've even been trying to draw circles which glow inside the
drawselectionindicator of my tilelist component but that would look a bit bland
and is a pain to position them.
In that code you found there are 2 very interesting lines of code mainly those
which relate to the image inside of his item renderer abd the code which they
are pointing to for their glow effect:-
<mx:Image id="myImage" source="{data.image}" width="100" height="100"
alpha="0.6"
rollOutEffect="{outerDocument.myOut}" rollOverEffect="{outerDocument.myOver}"/>
And this:-
<mx:Parallel id="myOver">
<mx:Blur blurXFrom="30" blurYFrom="30" />
<mx:Fade alphaFrom="0.6" alphaTo="1" />
<mx:Resize widthTo="150" heightTo="150" easingFunction="Back.easeOut"/>
<mx:Glow alphaTo="20" blurYTo="20" blurXTo="20" color="0x00ff00" />
</mx:Parallel>
I'm assuming that if I can incorporate my effects into that code then I'll be
able to do the same. At least I hope. But what exactly does outerdocument mean?
I've came across it but never used it and I also have what a parallel is but if
it works I could care less :-)
Thanks for being so helpful. I'll let you know how it goes here.
