Question

Does AS3 offer a way to customize the position of the image and text in the default TileList component?

I want to make a list of preview – description pairs, where item is located to the left of the text.

I assume this can be implemented using DataGrid and filling one cell with image and another with the description, but there should probably be a way to make that using TileList. I suspect I have to override item positioning in my own renderer, but I am not sure where to start digging.

Also – is there any way to render rich text (at least with bold / italic support) in those components? How should it be implemented?

Thank you.

you can create your own cell renderer that either extends CellRenderer or impliments ICellRenderer then set your component to use it:

list.setStyle("cellRenderer", myCellRendererClass);
