I looked at the source for ListItemRenderer, and when I tried to do the same thing, I got 1024: Overriding a function that is not marked for override. When I added override, I got incompatible override. Clearly there is something here that I am missing. Please keep in mind that I am a Community Expert for Authorware, which means that for the past several years the people who have answered what questions I've had have been instructional designers first, codeheads second. So please try to imagine you are in front of a classroom of people who are relatively new to Flex and couch your answer in those terms. Thanks; Amy
