Re: [flexcoders] how can i get a columnIndex from an item in my TileList?

[Aaron Hardy]

Just a thought (though not an answer), it might be a better idea if within
your custom tooltip component you evaluated the space needed by your tooltip
compared to the space between your cursor and the side of the stage, then
move the tooltip accordingly.  That way you're taken care of regardless of
the position or size of your tilelist or the items inside the tilelist.
Hope that's relevant.

Then you don't want the index, you just want to know position.  Using 
localToGlobal and globalToLocal will help you compute where the renderer is 
relative to the TileLIst.  You may also need to factor in viewmetrics.
