[flexcoders] Re: Tilelist in Flex 2 - what to use instead of getItemAt()?
Thanks for the suggestion. My new error is: value is not a function.
This comes up on this new line:
IList(myTiles.dataProvider).getItemAt(1).testFunction();

[flexcoders] Re: Tilelist in Flex 2 - what to use instead of getItemAt()?
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.

[flexcoders] Tilelist in Flex 2 - what to use instead of getItemAt()?
In Flex 1.5, you use getItemAt() to call functions from the children of the TileList, but that method no longer exists in F2. Any suggestions to do this? Here is some sample code: test.mxml: http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:view="view.*" layout="absolute" creationComplete="doInit()"> TestComponent.mxml http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="40" height="30" backgroundColor="#FF3366">
