You can't do that.
List controls re-use the item renderers when you scroll, so only the visible items even exist. You must work with the dataProvider items themselves. What are you trying to do? You can loop over the dataProvider and set the property values that way.

It has few labels and few other fields. So when I want to add property automationName I would like it to follow pattern "someName_001" for the some label in the first list item rendered by mxml component and so on with name being incremented by 1. Ok, so reading through documentation I think this should be handled by flex since it has support for lists and repeaters but I am not sure how to implement it. Right now if I set the name in the itemRenderer they all get same name. I tried looking at the debugger and did not see any values for automation that are kind of incremented, so basicaly I am stuck right now. Anyone has any examples?
