First off, the mxml for the list is such that you merely indicate the class

I think what Jeff proposed was something like this:
someList.addEventListener(someCustomEventString,someHandler);
and in your itemRenderer, you just dispatch
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(CustomEventString),bubbles=true)
No need to add and remove eventListeners based on the items created.
Hi,
i dispatch from itemrenderers to parent list like this:
(owner as List).dispatchEvent(myEvent);
handling custom events with mxml is more complicated. you could listen
for the list creation complete event (in mxml) and then add listeners
for the itemrenderer events via AS3, eg:
s:List
ok ok, I get what you guys are saying.
Gotcha, thanks :)

I think bubbling the event is the easiest way to do it. This way you can
catch the event where it makes the most sense to handle it. For example,
you can add the event handler to the List (or DataGrid or whatever) which
is up the display-list chain from the itemRenderer and have the function
be
I have a question about garbage collection in reference to a technique I've
used on a fairly regular basis.
Perhaps this is bad form, but this is what I've been doing nonetheless.
So this is as close to what I've been doing as possible, let's consider a
mobile app in my example of this method.

From an encapsulation perspective, the renderer shouldn't know its
parents.
I always recommend dispatching an event, that bubbles from the
renderer and then handling it in the
Ok, thanks.
I can't remember why I even started doing this in the first place -
honestly.
I do remember having problems with dispatching an event in one particular
circumstance, so I did this and didn't look back.
Bad habits die hard I guess.
Thanks for the response :)
