J,
I agree there's a substantial level of complexity involved.
But the listClasses do provide scalability. For example if you wish
to set a dataProvider of 1000000 items for example, List has the
functionality to handle it.
But its quite complicated.
I am looking at embarking on it at the moment.
I'm just assessing possible dev time and value of such a component.
I was hoping i code have got a head start with your code ;) hence my
request.
As far as suggestions on modifying listContent, none other than re-
writing ListBase.
regards,
Bjorn

Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for the feedback. The initial reason why I extended Canvas
over the ListBase classes was my unfamiliarity with the mechanics of
those classes. Also, since I was using the Flex Store as my model,
that was what they had used too. Basically ignorance to be more
precise. Keep in mind this class was originally started in Dec of
2006.
After doing some recent research, I was thinking about doing just
that: extending the TileBase or ListBase classes. But delving deeper
into the mechanisms for those classes, I decided against it as there
is yet another level of complexity in tying into and manipulating
things at the level I want to in the ListContent property of the
ListBase. I haven't completely ruled it out just yet, just haven't
had time to really play with the idea.
Do you have any suggestions on that particular approach?
Thanks,
Justin
