I am working on an older Flash project created in CS3 ActionScript 2.0 How can I make the pointer cursor change to the hand when hover over a list item?_root.slidePanel.myList'myList' is the list. I have traced out the contents of the List MC and it has a child MC called 'content_mc'. I assumed this was the object containing all of my list items but the only members of this MC I can see (when tracing them out) are 'setRGB' and 'searchKey'.

Why I have to press 2 times the arrow key down to get a navigation through the list items in a list component of Flash?
Theres any workaround for this? I have a listener for keyboard event that checks if keyCode is equal to 40 if it is then I use 'stage.focus = list', but I have to press 2 times key arrow down to start navigating through list items.

Previously in AS2, to set the style for a List Component when the mouse was over an item you would simple set it with
Code:
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x000000);
I've been trying to find info on how the heck you do this in AS3, cause the above dont work.i've been playing with the following code, but it does not have a rollOver property
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x00FF00;
tf.font = "Andale Mono";
tf.size = 14;
PS, normally when a programing language is changed, is is done at an easing speed, but AHHH! NO!!! not with AS3, it has changed 101%

I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

I have two Lists (components) on stage. The first one (mainList populates from an XML called topics.xml
[Code]...
on event handler change, I want to load the second list on the other list component, called subList..It's not loading.. I believe it's because when it reads the data from my topics list, it reads topic1.xml instead of "topic1.xml" ( reads without the quotes). If I unquote line v.list.load("subtopic.xml"), it works, but I need it to be loaded from the XML..

I have a list component which I use to display a list of songs in a music application. Next to each item in the list I need to add a little mp3 player. The mp3 player has a preloader to show the mp3 is loading, then a play/stop toggle button. Does anyone know how to use the cellrender to add this mp3 player to each item in a Flash List component?

I have a list component on the stage in an AS3 movie. I populate it with values at runtime and the user can select multiple values. When a button is clicked I want the list to reset to a state where nothing is selected, all I can figure out is to set the selected index to 0 and have the first position on the list either blank or reading "choose from the list" and make the code ignore this if it is selected. Is there a way to reset list (and combobox components) to nothing selected.

I am an inexperienced user of Flash CS4 Pro (v10.0.2). I am attempting to use the List component with ActionScript 3.0 to make a different image display when a user clicks each item in a list. I did find a tutorial that showed me how to make different text display using a dynamic text box and the following ActionScript:
[code]...
...where My List is the instance of the List component and ListText is the dynamix text box. In this case, the user clicks an item in the list, defined by the label value in the dataProvider parameter of the List component, and text displays as defined in the data value in the dataProvider parameter.
However, as I mentioned to start, what I really want to do is make images display instead of text. Can anyone provide me the steps to do this?

How do I load XML from a local file into a List component in MXML Flash Builder 4?
I tried using Actionscript to create a loader, but I can't seem to add an event listener to the loader. I've tried to create a local service but I couldn't get that to work either.
I'm making an XML driven AIR app. I plan on having multiple XML files being used - some for content and some for storing settings, state etc.

I want to make for my fellow classmates. The idea is to have to lists with selectable items in each of them. And they are supposed to be tasks, one list with the "To Do" items, and one with the "Done" items. What I want is that the .swf can remember(save) what items I have moved from one list to the other from time to time.
Example:
List1(To do list):
* Homework [code]..........
and when I click on "Homework" and a button, it would go from list1 to list2(i have made this work).
List1(To do list):
* Fix motorcycle
* Clean the garage[code]........
But of course when I close the .swf, the lists would be reset until next time I open it.I was thinking of something with .xml files for each lists, so I would rewrite the .xml's when I transfer one thing from list1 to list2.

I have a List (fl.controls.List) component... I can successfully populate this component with String data. The problem occurs when I try to unpopulate the list. The only function available is "removeAll()" I couldnt see a different function.
I am using it this way
Code:
function removeFromList(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(list.selectedItem) {
list.removeAll();
}
When I've been using list.removeSelected() I don't think there is a function as this?
