Implementation
public function get autoLayout():Boolean
public function set autoLayout(value:Boolean):void

dataProvider

property

dataProvider:IList

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Implementation
public function get dataProvider():IList
public function set dataProvider(value:IList):void

itemRenderer

property

itemRenderer:IFactory

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The item renderer to use for data items. The class must implement the IDataRenderer interface. If defined, the itemRendererFunction property takes precedence over this property.

Implementation
public function get itemRenderer():IFactory
public function set itemRenderer(value:IFactory):void

itemRendererFunction

property

itemRendererFunction:Function

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Function that returns an item renderer IFactory for a specific item. You should define an item renderer function similar to this sample function:

        function myItemRendererFunction(item:Object):IFactory

Implementation
public function get itemRendererFunction():Function
public function set itemRendererFunction(value:Function):void

labelField

property

labelField:String

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

The default value is "label".

Implementation
public function get labelField():String
public function set labelField(value:String):void

labelFunction

property

labelFunction:Function

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A user-supplied function to run on each item to determine its label. The labelFunction property overrides the labelField property.

You can supply a labelFunction that finds the appropriate fields and returns a displayable string. The labelFunction is also good for handling formatting and localization.

The label function takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String.

		  myLabelFunction(item:Object):String

The default value is null.

Implementation
public function get labelFunction():Function
public function set labelFunction(value:Function):void

layout

length

property

length:int [read-only]

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The number of items in this collection. 0 means no items while -1 means the length is unknown.

Implementation

property

selectedIndex:int

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

property

selectedItem:Object

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

The item that is currently selected. Setting this property deselects the currently selected item and selects the newly specified item.

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Implementation
public function get selectedItem():Object
public function set selectedItem(value:Object):void

typicalItem

property

typicalItem:Object

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Layouts use the preferred size of the typicalItem when fixed row or column sizes are required, but a specific rowHeight or columnWidth value is not set. Similarly virtual layouts use this item to define the size of layout elements that have not been scrolled into view.

The container uses the typical data item, and the associated item renderer, to determine the default size of the container children. By defining the typical item, the container does not have to size each child as it is drawn on the screen.

Setting this property sets the typicalLayoutElement property of the layout.

Restriction: if the typicalItem is an IVisualItem, it must not also be a member of the data Provider.

Implementation
public function get typicalItem():Object
public function set typicalItem(value:Object):void

useVirtualLayout

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Sets the value of the useVirtualLayout property of the layout associated with this control. If the layout is subsequently replaced and the value of this property is true, then the new layout's useVirtualLayout property is set to true.

The default value is true.

Implementation
public function get useVirtualLayout():Boolean
public function set useVirtualLayout(value:Boolean):void

IndexChangeEvent.type property = spark.events.IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Dispatched after the selection has changed. This event is dispatched when the user interacts with the control.

When you change the value of the selectedIndex or selectedItem properties programmatically, the control does not dispatch the change event. It dispatches the valueCommit event instead.

The IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a change event, which indicates that an index has changed, such as when a List-based control changes its selection.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`newIndex`	The zero-based index after the change.
`oldIndex`	The zero-based index before the change.
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.
`Type`	IndexChangeEvent.CHANGE

collectionChange

Event

Event Object Type: mx.events.CollectionEvent
CollectionEvent.type property = mx.events.CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 3

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when the ISelectableList has been updated in some way.

The CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for an event that is dispatched when a collection has changed.

The properties of the event object have the following values. Not all properties are meaningful for all kinds of events. See the detailed property descriptions for more information.

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`items`	An Array of objects with information about the items affected by the event. The contents of this field depend on the event kind; for details see the `items` property
`kind`	The kind of event. The valid values are defined in the CollectionEventKind class as constants.
`location`	Location within the target collection of the item(s) specified in the `items` property.
`oldLocation`	the previous location in the collection of the item specified in the `items` property.
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.
`type`	CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE

rendererAdd

Event
