Alex, thanks so much! Can you tell me a bit more? I have looked through the debugger and seen the listItems but I cannot seem to figure out how to get reference to that list during runtime...
Is this what "subclassing" will do for me? How can I do that? Thanks again for at least letting me know it's even POSSIBLE though. --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You'll have to subclass and then snoop through the listItems array > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Matt Maher > Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 4:20 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] coordiates of items in a datagrid > > > > I have a datagrid and want the user to be able to draw a "selection > box" over the elements in it... > > When the user lets go of the mouse button I want to look through the > items of the grid to ask each if they fall within the coordinates of > the box. > > This sounds so simple and I've gotten to the last step in the process, > but I cannot seem to find any way to determine the coordinates of the > elements in the datagrid which are currently displayed.
