The compiler wouldn't have a declaration of 'data', so would assume item.data has type *. At runtime it would have type int if its value is 1. But you could use class to define data items with strongly typed properties: public class MyItem { public var label:String: public var data:int;

That's not how list-based components work. You don't add event listeners to data items. You listen to events dispatched by the list itself. What are you trying to accomplish with your event handlers? Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroup

You add child components which are UIComponents to a container like HBox. But you add data items to a list-based control like HorizontalList. These data items then get displayed by item renderers, which are children which get automatically created to display data items. The children are managed
