Re: [flexcoders] Re: Repost of bug issue over weekend

Thanks ben. Yes it does help. It is, from my perpsective, even now understanding what it seems to do, be an unexpected result. Perhaps it should generate an error, or not allow you to have an arrayCollection of strings instead of objects, since it is always possible for a list to have multiple matching strings. IMHO it should either do the right thing, or generate an error, not create some anomalous user interface effect with certain data sets. Because this will work right with one set of data, and not right with another data set, I would consider it a bug, though not of the kind I initially thought.

I don't think this is a bug as I am not sure how it could work anydifferently. You are repeatedly adding the same item (the string"hello") to the list so it has no way to differentiate between themand uses the newest instance for the rollOver and rollOut actions. If
you want to display the same string multiple times I think you willneed to fill your ArrayCollection with objects and access a propertyvia a labelFunction.HTH,Ben--- In
