hello again, a component of mine looks something like this: <mx:canvas> <mx:hbox> <mx:horizontallist /> <mx:tilelist /> </mx:hbox> </mx:canvas>
now, my question is this... my horizontal list contains, as a data provider, an array collection of objects (which basically is your average icon with a label). pretty straightforward enough. however, what i need to do is locate the x- and y- coordinates of *each* of these objects because i need to draw lines to it (think of a map...) i am not sure where exactly to start... i was thinking of using something like the function localToGlobal() but i think the way i coded makes this not feasible... or i'm even using the wrong things... please please please... any help would be truly appreciated! thanks :)
