I read Alex's excellent article on ItemRenderer at http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/thinking_about_item_renderers_1.html , available docs, and looked on this group and google. I'm suck!
I want an ItemRenderer in a tile to expand and take over the visual realestate of a TileList. For example, it could be a HorizontalList-looking display of images, and when you click on one item, that item grows to take over the entire area of the HorizontalList (and turns into something else but I have that part down). I'm stuck though: the item expands, but is basically masked by the List, so only the a tiny bit of it is visible. The ItemRenderer still only gets the same amount of space it had before. (btw this is horizontal expansion, not vertical, which I see is covered specially by these classes via RowHeight). I've been reading through the flex 3 source, and while I see how this may be possible with vertical lists, and have even found demo code, for some reason horizontal expansion seems trickier. I have some ugly hacks I'm going to be trying, but there has to be some non-kludgy way of getting this to work. Any suggestions? Thanks!
