Hi Manish;
Well, your suggestion *almost* works. Click on "Beta" a couple
times, and you'll see the "Alpha" row's size being increased, though
no button is added.
I could fix this by adding:
<mx:SetProperty property="height" value="60"/>
to the "openState" state declaration. I have no idea why this would
work :(
On that note: how can I better arm myself to sort out these problems
on my own? I've read the documentation on custom renderers and
states, but nothing in there would have led me to your conclusion
that the list was "shuffling" cell renderers. Is there more I can
read? Books? Sample code? Blogs?
Thanks.
