Question

I want to use event timer every 3 seconds to refresh List. I have created event timer but don’t know about function to refresh List.
has anyone ever did this?

I’ll appreciate your help, thanks

Answer 1

You should bind the List to a datasource (arrayCollection). Whenever the arrayCollection being updated, it will refresh the list automatically, example

<mx:List dataProvider="{myAC}"/>

where myAC is arrayCollection that can be changed to another arrayCollection.

Code samples, check on this line ( “section Binding to arrays” )

Take note that it’s better to bind instead of doing something like

list.datasource = anotherArrayCollection;
