The properties of a component are in the namespace of the component, so you would use <treeline:itemRenderer

Hi all, This TileList was working fine: <mx:TileList id="allYarnsTL" dataProvider="{allYarnsAC}"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:Canvas> <mx:Image id="yarnImage" source="{data.image}"/> </mx:Canvas> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:TileList> I then needed to override some TileList behaviours. So I started to subclass TileList... package com.treelinerugs { import mx.controls.TileList; public class TestTileList extends TileList { public function TestTileList() { super(); } } } and then created an instance as before... <treeline:TestTileList id="allYarnsTL" dataProvider="{allYarnsAC}"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:Canvas> <mx:Image id="yarnImage" source="{data.image}"/> </mx:Canvas> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </treeline:TestTileList> But now I get a compile-time error "Could not resolve <mx:itemRenderer> to a component implementation." I can fix this by creating a separate component and creating the instance like this instead: <treeline:TestTileList id="allYarnsTL" dataProvider="{allYarnsAC}" itemRenderer="com.treelinerugs.TLItemRenderer"> Why can't I define the itemRenderer in-line if I subclass TileList? Thanks, Rich
