Ok, I have a custom control created to handle the formatting inside each of my 
gridItem.  I want to pass the day object that is the current item of the 
Repeater into this custom control.  How do I define the variable in side my 
custom control to accept on object of type "Day" defined in a Day.as file?  

That is what the repeater current item will pass in if it is looping over an 
array of Day objects correct?

<mx:Repeater
   id="dayCells"
   dataProvider="{testStuff}"
   startingIndex="{weekRows.currentItem}"
   count="7">

  <mx:GridItem width="14%">
    <ns1:dayFormat2 dayData="{dayCells.currentItem}" />
  </mx:GridItem>
</mx:Repeater>

I have this working to the point that I am creating a grid of 7 columns and the 
appropriate number of rows to display all records returned from the 
remoteObject.  

As one might guess this will be an event calendar type display.  Now I just 
need to figure out how I use the dayFormat.mxml file I created when I started 
with the Phones example and use it for the content of the GridItem cells 
instead of the simple label I have in there now.  Or do I just copy that entire 
file's code into the main.mxml file fragment I've included here?

<mx:Grid width="100%" backgroundColor="yellow">
  <mx:Repeater id="weekRows" dataProvider="{weeksAry}">
    <mx:GridRow width="100%">
      <mx:Repeater 
          id="dayCells" 
          dataProvider="{days}" 
          startingIndex="{weekRows.currentItem}"
          count="7">
        <mx:GridItem width="14%" backgroundColor="blue">
          <mx:Label text="{Day.format(dayCells.currentItem.date)}" />
        </mx:GridItem>
      </mx:Repeater> 
    </mx:GridRow>
  </mx:Repeater>
</mx:Grid>

I'd stick with using VOs over records, gives you that nice OO warm fuzzy 
feeling.  Columns fixed at 7, it seems.  So return a array of objects that are 
the parents that have the data for the grid.  Note that these have 7 instance 
variables that will populate your grid columns.  Each of these can have a array 
of other objects for your tile list.
