the code below sets up a List object in the main controller class that uses a custom cell renderer (CustomListCell class). the CustomListCell class creates a Button object for the cell that will be used to delete itself from the List's DataProvider.
how can i properly access the parent List object from its custom cell renderer?
//Controller Class
private function createList():void
{
provider = new DataProvider(data);
list = new List();
list.width = 200;
list.height = 400;
list.rowHeight = 50;
list.dataProvider = provider;
list.setStyle("cellRenderer", CustomListCell);
}
-----
//CustomListCell Class
import fl.controls.Button;
public class CustomListCell extends Sprite implements ICellRenderer
{
public function CustomListCell()
{
var button:Button = new Button();
button.label = "Delete Cell";
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent_MOUSE_DOWN, deleteCellHandler);
addChild(button);
}
private function deleteCellHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
//Access List/DataProvider Here
}
//required implemented ICellRenderer functions follow
}
UPDATE
the following is my working custom renderer that implements ICellRenderer with Flash v3 List component. the List's dataProvider consists of 2 elements for each cell: randomColor and randomNumber.
