I don't see 'icon' defined anywhere. What is your thumbnail? Is it a URL or an embedded graphic?
Check out the examples in the doc and look at the source for TileListItemRenderer. -Alex ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Djamshed Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 11:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] How to set icon in custom TilelistItemRenderer? Hi, I am trying to create a custom renderer for TileList that will have two labels just below the thumbnail, but I can't set the icon property: it doesn't display anything. My TileList: ------------------------- <mx:TileList id="myTileList" dataProvider="{myDataArray}" itemRenderer="MyCustomRenderer" /> ------------------------- My Renderer ------------------------- public class MyCustomRenderer extends TileListItemRenderer { private var _lbl1:Label; private var _lbl2:Label; private var _img:Image; public function MyCustomRenderer() { super(); } override protected function createChildren():void { super.createChildren(); _img = new Image(); //holds thumbnail object _lbl1 = new Label(); //first label _lbl2 = new Label(); //second label // addChild(_img ); //it works if I do this way, but why don't I use icon? addChild(_lbl1); addChild(_lbl2); } override protected function commitProperties():void { super.commitProperties(); var vo:ProductVO = ProductVO(data); _img.source = vo.thumbnail; _lbl1.text = vo.title; _lbl2.text = vo.descr; this.icon = _img; //setting the icon this.label.text = ""; //it shows ProductVO object's description, don't know how to get rid of it the other way } } ------------------------- It works the way I want if I do "addChild(_img )" in createChildren(), but knowing that there is an icon property, I think the renderer becomes heavier than it could be. So, could you help me with: 1) How to make icon display the image? 2) Can I use "label" as one of my labels and add only one additional Label (I need two labels)? Thanks, Djam.
