RE: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Passing an object to a rendererProvider
When (in its life cycle) do you need this object in the renderer? What does it do? When is it initialized or updated? Do you have a good understanding of itemRenderer recycling? Typically, there are two kinds of data in a renderer. Static data, which can be compiled in, and item data, which comes from the dataProvider item. Dynamic data that is not from the item raises questions.

Why not include the string in a property in the item object?

Tracy, I understood from the original e-mail that he was using a component as an itemRenderer. If his 'item object' is being used an itemRenderer he would have to create numerous mods to the list based classes to pass in properties other than data or listData. Mike, I'm not sure which class you're using, nor how your dataProvider is structured. But, if you just need to add the value to the objects in your dataProvider. If you have simple objects (like Strings) in your dataProvider, you'll need to wrap up them up in an object, probably by creating a Value Object style class.
