I'll keep an eye on that new class at Ben's blog, but here's how I
solved the issue, by creating a custom itemRenderer. A bit of a
workaround, but more flexible than using the generic tileList:
<mx:TileList dataProvider="{uniXML}"
labelField="groupID"
iconField="thumbnail"
height="100%"
width="100%"
rowHeight="200" columnWidth="125"
itemClick="uniLoad(event)">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:VBox horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Image width="110" height="160"
source="{data.thumbnail}"/>
<mx:Text id="thumbText" width="100%"
height="22" fontSize="9"
text="{data.top.styleCode.womensStyleCode + '/' +
data.top.styleCode.mensStyleCode}" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
The itemClick loads a SWF that corresponds to the thumbnail in the
tileList. Works like a charm!
Thanks again for your direction.
