I've noticed that at least in my copy of Flex Builder 3, the code-completion
feature doesn't seem to work entirely correctly. I was trying to define a
variable of type ListBaseContentHolder, but typing the dot "." after
listClasses brought up a list of available classes -- but not
ListBaseContentHolder!

var lb:mx.controls.listClasses. // --> could not see that class here.

All the online documentation said it was there, but Flex Builder wouldn't show
it. I typed it in manually,

var lb:mx.controls.listClasses.ListBaseContentHolder;

and it compiled just fine. Any thoughts on what might be going on here?

I think that one is hidden somehow. I don't think they want you using it.
What's the goal? We might be able to tell you how to achieve it without
using it. The only time I ever used that class, I was doing something I
wouldn't do now that I know better.

Thanks, Amy. Here's what the app needs to do: It has a DataGrid with an inline
ItemRenderer in one column. The ItemRenderer contains a read-only TextInput and
Browse and Upload buttons. The Browse button allows a user to select a file and
the Upload button enables a file upload. Each row represents an item that need
to have an image file associated with it.

I need to reference the ItemRenderer and its TextInput to display what file
was selected; in addition, each row will need to fire off a validation to
ensure files with the correct extension are selected. The ID column's value
from that row will be used as the filename on the server.

I found this article that partially explains how to reference the items in an
ItemRenderer: http://danonflex.com/readarticle.php?article_id=5

The problem: How do you detect which row's ItemRenderer fired off the Click
event -- in other words, which Browse button was clicked? And then how do you
find that row's TextInput within the ItemRenderer?

Thanks.

The item click event's event.target property will have a reference to the
actual row involved. If that doesn't work for you, you can generate a
custom event on from something happening in the renderer and pass whatever
info you need in that event.
