I hear your logic, but I'm not sure that I follow. I make a database request that downloads a bunch of url strings to an array collection that are in the order that I want them displayed and the priority that I want them rendered. After the arraycollection is populated, a component is instantiated containing the list and the array collection is set as the data provider and the images begin to render. The problem is that it seems that the first three images that are initially on the screen are the LAST to be loading. If the data provider is being set all at once, you are telling me there is no way to force the render order from 1 to 24 instead of 24 to 1?
It sounds like you are saying whoever gets their data first will render first, but if I just hand off the data provider, I can't control who will have their photo delivered first so it will always be random. Is that right? -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
