Hello, Nope that's not it... As I said, if you remove all the calls to the sub class Highlighter (by commenting the data setter ( override public function set data(value:Object):void )
and removing the CompleteEventHandler ( private function SentenceRendererCreationCompleteEventHandler > ():void ) then everything will work fine. (Aka you will be able to do drag & drop and then select any item in the list etc.) So the problem lies in the sub class _Highlighter. Once again my theory is that since this class is totally custom my guess is that there is an Interface that it should implements as a sub component of a renderer... thanx ! --- In [email protected], "yossigordin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > When a drag-n-drop operation is made, the data setter is not fired, > rather the data changeEvent. > I think that the problem is with your itemRenderer - you have > overriden the data setter but you didn't add an event listener for > dataChange events. > Try to add a Flex.DataChangeEvent listener that does exactly what > the setter does. > > Hope it helps > Josef > > --- In [email protected], "icepaco33" <icepaco33@> wrote: > > > > Humble excuse Alex, > > but you are not answering my question / problem. > > > > I have no problem with my highlight / selection showing... > > My problem is that if I do drag & drop operation and if I change > the > > Data Provider then sometimes I can no longer select some items even > > tho they are showing... > > > > I have found out that if I remove my Highlighter class from my > > renderer then everything will work out fine (I can drag & drop and > > then select any / every items in the list). > > > > So I was wondering if it is because my Highlighter class isn't > > implementing some Interface that are necessary for a sub component > of > > a Renderer... > > > > Thanx ! > > --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <aharui@> wrote: > > > > > > The Flex classes draw highlight and selection behind the > renderer, so > > > any renderer with an opaque background will obscure it.
