I don't really see problem in this. You just have to add event handler to
handle "itemRollOver" event of your TileList. That's all. Handler may look
like:

protected function onItemRollOver(event : ListEvent) : void {
   someLabelUnderTheList.text = event.itemRenderer.data.name;
}

Or something like this. Here event.itemRenderer is list element you rolled
over and event.itemRenderer.data is this elements data (from data provider).

  Hello, I hope someone can help me with my problem - I think I may be
missing something
rather obvious.

I have a TileList populated with data (ArrayCollection). Underneath the
TileList I have a blank
area. When the user mouseOver's a row in the TileList I want some of that
data (for example
name, category) to appear in the blank area. This sounds rather straight
forward but I having
a bit of a hard time getting it to work.

Is there a way to explicitly reference the currently "mouseOver'd" object
so it can be displayed
outside the TileList. item renderers and repeaters don't seem to help much
as I'm trying to
display the content OUTSIDE of the TileList. I've also tried using
IViewCursor
(cursor.current.name) but it only ever displays the first element of the
ArrayCollection.

Any ideas much appreciated.
Iain.
