I have not done this recently that I can recall, but here are some
suggestions.

*       If your data Provider is a collection, you can use
getRepeaterItem() with collection.getItemIndex()
*       Look at the repeaterIndex and instanceIndex properties of
UIComponent.  Remember the click handler event object provides the
target and currentTarget properties to reference the repeated UIObject
*       Use a custom component to repeat and set an index property on it
using repeater.currentIndex

Subject: [flexcoders] Getting Index of item clicked in repeater

 

Say I have a repeater that essentially scatters instances of a custom 
component all over the screen. When a user clicks one of the 
instances, I don't really care what data is displayed in the 
component. What I need to know is what was the index of the one that 
was clicked within the component. I have found lots of examples that 
refer to event.target.getRepeaterItem(), but none that allow me to find 
out where in the repeater collection that item was found.

I'm sure this is fairly simple, but I haven't been able to tease the 
answer out of the docks.

Thanks.
