[flexcoders] Re: Populate TileList w/ data from XML file?

[daddyo_buckeye]

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.

 The easiest way to create an image class is to embed it
 
 [Embed source=images\yourImage.png]
 private var yourImage:Class;
 
 That's just the way icons work

I forgot to mention the labelField works fine (displays text in the 
TileList) but the iconField doesn't display the associated image.

 I'm trying to populate a TileList with data from an XML file. Any 
help 
 is greatly appreciated.
 
 Here's the data from the XML file:
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1?
 uniforms
   patternGroup
   groupIDkj02/groupID
   sportBasketball/sport
   groupStyleBasketball Uniform/groupStyle
 
thumbnailassets/basketball/thumbnailsPNG/kj02.png/thumbnail

   /patternGroup
 /uniforms
 
 
 Here's the code for the application file:
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
 layout=absolute creationComplete=uniData.send()
 
 mx:Script
   ![CDATA[
   [Bindable]
   private var uniXML:XMLList;
   
   private function uniHandler(evt:ResultEvent):void {
   uniXML=evt.result.patternGroup;
   }
   ]]
 /mx:Script
 
 mx:HTTPService id=uniData url=assets/uniforms.xml 
 result=uniHandler(event) resultFormat=e4x  /
 
 mx:TileList dataProvider={uniXML} labelField=groupID 
 iconField=thumbnail width=400 height=400 /
 
 /mx:Application
 
 What am I missing here?
 
 thanks.

I think icons need to take a class rather than a path to an image.

Amy,

Can you be more specific? Would I have to build a class for my 
images, with the path to the images in the class file?

Here's the code:

  mx:TileList id=tl dataProvider={uniXML} labelField=groupID 
iconField=thumbnail width=400 height=400
mx:itemRenderer
  mx:Component
mx:HBox
  mx:Text width=100 height=100 text={data.groupID}/
  mx:Image width=100 height=100 source={data.thumbnail}/
/mx:HBox
  /mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer


...Thanks to Greg Lafrance on the Adobe Flex list.
