Your trick doesn't seem to work. Actually it throws an exception on app. init.
Debugging the thumbnail.mxml file I observe the following:
1. first thumbnail ' function set dataObject' is called with dataObject corresponding to dataprovider[0] multiple times
2. when it do iterates over the dataProvider array, both 'label', and parent is null? (which is what causes the exception)
3. 'function set dataObject' is _not_ called when the dataProvider array is changed.
I also notice that the binding works when tiles are scrolled off, and on screen. I presume this is caused by the tiles being destroyed/created when not in view/being displayed anew and therefore not related to anything useful.
Isn't there a way to loop through the itemlist, and manually force a rebind of the dataObjects?
I guess one could rebind the dataProvider by alternating 2 databuffers; but how do i clone the object array. Object itself doesn't seem to implement .clone() ? Do I have to write some for..in stuff for that?
I'll tell you, I for one is hoping for a new release _very_ soon. :D
cheers

So instead of this:
<mx:Vbox>
<mx:Image source="./{dataObject.file" />
<mx:Label text="{dataObject.file}"/>
</mx:VBox>
You have to do this:
<mx:Vbox>
<mx:Image source="./{dataObject.file" />
<mx:Label id="label" />
<mx:Script>
override public function set dataObject(value:Object):Void
{
super.dataObject = value;
label.text = value.file;
}
</mx:Script>
</mx:VBox>
Which sucks obviously, but for the time being that's what we have
(wait for the next build).

No, I don't think so. I'm sure QA engineers from the Flex team are
lurking on the list (and often posting too) and will pick up any
problems reported here.
