I have set the itemRollOver and itemRollOut event listeners on a List component, but whenever I roll the mouse over a list item, both the over and out events of the same list item fire in succession right after each other. My list uses a custom itemRenderer.
Any ideas why this might be? The Adobe documentation doesn’t provide much insight into this (not surprisingly…).
In my opinion this is a bug. The ListBase.mouseOverHandler now sets a variable called lastHighlightItemRendererAtIndices when it dispatches an ITEM_ROLL_OVER event, which is then used (together with lastHighlightItemIndices) when dispatching an ITEM_ROLL_OUT event in ListBase.clearHighlight (called by the mouseOutHandler).
The problem is that when you mouse from row-to-row the mouseOverHandler is called first, setting the lastHightlight… variables, and then when the mouseOutHandler gets called subsequently, it uses the lastHighlight… values that were just set with the result that you get consecutive ‘roll over’ and ‘roll out’ events for the same renderer.
Frankly I don’t know why ListBase.clearHighlight just doesn’t use the passed in renderer when dispatching the ITEM_ROLL_OUT event (which is how it used to work in SDK 2) as this is the actual renderer that is being ‘rolled out of’.
