[flexcoders] Click event in Flex 3 TileList no longer sets selectedItem when...

[Rich Germuska]

Hi all, 

Am in process of migrating app to Flex 3, as bug in 2.01 prevents 
applying Fade to Flash CS3 MovieClips, which is essential for app 
(see another flexcoders thread).

Anyway, the first issue I have encountered is that TileLists are 
behaving differently.

The TileList click event no longer sets selectedItem when it is 
triggered by a mouse click over the itemRenderer itself.

What's more the itemClick event is just not detected when the trigger 
is a mouse click over the itemRenderer.

In the code below SWFWrapper is a subclass of SWFLoader, and is 
loaded with a Flash CS3 swf.

Here's some code that worked fine in 2.01

<mx:TileList id="browserTL"
    borderThickness="0"
    rollOverColor="#ff0000"
    selectionColor="#00ff00"
    click="tileListClickHandler()"                              
    useHandCursor="true"
    right="0"
    top="0"
    width="{main.TILELIST_WIDTH}"
    columnWidth="120" 
    rowHeight="146"
    columnCount="3"
    rowCount="3"
    dataProvider="{browserAC}">
        
    <mx:itemRenderer>
        <mx:Component>
            <mx:Canvas>
                <treelinerugs:SWFWrapper id="thumbSWF"
                    horizontalCenter="0"
                    verticalCenter="0"
                    source="{Rug(data).SWFSource}"
                    dataProvider="{Rug(data).dataProvider}"  
                    yarnsAC="{main.yarnsAC}" 
                    width="80"
                    height="{data.originalAspectRatio*80}" />
            </mx:Canvas>
        </mx:Component>
    </mx:itemRenderer>

</mx:TileList>  

Looking forward to all of the goodness ahead once I've migrated.

Many thanks, Rich

PS Is there a newbie guide to migrating from 2.01 to 3 anywhere? I'm 
not expecting anything exhaustive - but just some hints for commonly 
used Classes that will require reworking.
