I couldn't find a horizontalGap property on TileList, and trying to manually add a tag when the code hinting said no just resulted in a compiler error. Could you tell me a bit more about monkey patching? Where does the file need to be, and how do you get it to be picked up as if it were in the mx namespace? Thanks; Amy
