Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work :(. Do you need the
latest version of Flex 2 for that to work? I didn't install the latest
upgrade (2.1 I believe).
When I tried it, I got the following error.
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
at test/clickedList()
at test/___Button1_click()
Also, in the debugger, IList(myTiles.dataProvider) cannot be evaluated,
and neither can IList(myTiles.dataProvider).getItemAt(any_number)
Any more ideas? I really need help with this and I appreciate any
suggestions! Thank you.
