yeah that is what I thought too but to properly implement the IfocusManagerComponent dont i just add it to the class declaration?
like so: import mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent; public class ColoredScheduleEntry extends SimpleScheduleEntry implements IScheduleEntry,IFocusManagerComponent everywhere I have looked that is what the example tells you to do and it should work but it doesnt at all because its an object and not a UI component? So, i believe i have to convert each object to an item using ItemRenderer and then it should be focus-able? this is all just logic in my head though, i am sure there are other ways (or if I just implemented it wrong which would save me more headaches) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In theory, if you properly implement IFocusManagerComponent it should > work.
