Question

Im very new to Adobe Flex/Actionscript and am trying to create a person search application. So far I have my results showing as a horizontal list, but Id like to include an image above each name as my wonderful paint skills show:

/* listOfPeople is a list of arrays with a["name"] a["sex"] a["dob"] and 
   a["image"] which is just a URI to the image */

<s:List width="100%" height="100%" id="results" dataProvider="{listOfPeople}" change="clickPerson(event)">
    <s:itemRenderer>
        <fx:Component>
            <s:MobileIconItemRenderer
                iconField="{data.image}"
                 iconHeight="100" iconWidth="100"
                label="{data.name} - {data.sex}"
                messageField="dob"/>
        </fx:Component>

    </s:itemRenderer>
    <s:layout>
        <s:HorizontalLayout paddingBottom="100" gap="6" paddingTop="100" paddingLeft="0"
            paddingRight="0"
            requestedColumnCount="-1"
            variableColumnWidth="true"
            verticalAlign="bottom"
            /> 
    </s:layout>
</s:List>

Any ideas? The iconField doesn’t seem to show at all… even when using the full path with correct backslashes

Cheers
Phil

EDIT:

The image displays fine on the PersonDetails screen, when the person is clicked upon:

<s:HGroup verticalAlign="middle" gap="12" paddingTop="10" paddingLeft="10">

    <s:Image source="{data.image}" height="170" width="170"/>

    <s:VGroup>
        <s:Label text="{data.name}"/>
        <s:Label text="{data.dOB}"/>
        <s:Label text="{data.sex}"/>
        <s:Label text="{data.birthplace}"/>
        <s:Label text="{data.colour} {data.ethnicity}"/>
        <s:Label text="{data.height}"/>
    </s:VGroup>

</s:HGroup>

I think MobileIconItemRenderer displays all elements in a horizontal layout. If you want to display an image on top of the text, you have to create your own renderer or extends MobileIconItemRender and change the way it layouts its elements
