| 
alternatingItemColors
 | Type: Array Format: Color CSS Inheritance: yes The colors to use for the backgrounds of the items in the list. The value is an array of two or more colors. The backgrounds of the list items alternate among the colors in the array. For DataGrid controls, all items in a row have the same background color, and each row's background color is determined from the array of colors. For the TileList control, which uses a single list to populate a two-dimensional display, the style can result in a checkerboard appearance, stripes, or other patterns based on the number of columns and rows and the number of colors specified. TileList cycles through the colors, placing the individual item background colors according to the layout direction. If you have an even number of colors and an even number of columns for a TileList layed out horizontally, you will get striping. If the number of columns is an odd number, you will get a checkerboard pattern. Only takes effect if no   undefined. | AdvancedListBase | ||

      (shift-click, control-click).
           
 The default value is false.
    public function get allowMultipleSelection():Boolean
    public function set allowMultipleSelection(value:Boolean):void
| anchorBookmark | property | 
protected var anchorBookmark:CursorBookmark
A bookmark to the item that is the anchor. A bookmark allows the component to quickly seek to a position in the collection of items. This property is used when selecting a set of items between the anchor and the caret or highlighted item, and when finding the selected item after a Sort or Filter is applied.
| anchorIndex | property | 
protected var anchorIndex:int = -1
The offset of the item in the data provider that is the selection anchor point.
See also
| cachedDataChangeEffect | property | 
protected var cachedDataChangeEffect:Effect = null
      The effect that plays when changes occur in the data
      provider for the control. 
      Set the effect by setting the dataChangeEffect
      style.
     
| caretBookmark | property | 
protected var caretBookmark:CursorBookmark
A bookmark to the item under the caret. A bookmark allows the component to quickly seek to a position in the collection of items.
| caretIndex | property | 
protected var caretIndex:int = -1
The offset of the item in the data provider that is at the selection caret point.
See also
| caretIndicator | property | 
protected var caretIndicator:Sprite
The DisplayObject that contains the graphics that indicate which renderer is the caret.
| caretItemRenderer | property | 
protected var caretItemRenderer:IListItemRenderer
The renderer for the item under the caret. In the selection model, there is an anchor, a caret and a highlighted item. When the mouse is being used for selection, the item under the mouse is highlighted as the mouse rolls over the item. When the mouse is clicked with no modifier keys (Shift or Control), the set of selected items is cleared and the item under the highlight is selected and becomes the anchor. The caret is unused in mouse selection.
If there is an anchor and another item is selected while using the Shift key, the old set of selected items is cleared, and all items between the item and the anchor are selected. Clicking items while using the Control key toggles the selection of individual items and does not move the anchor.
When selecting items using the keyboard, if the arrow keys are used with no modifier keys, the old selection is cleared and the new item is selected and becomes the anchor and the caret, and a caret indicator is shown around the selection highlight.
If the user uses arrow keys with the Shift key, the old selection is cleared and the items between the anchor and the new item are selected. The caret moves to the new item.
If arrow keys are used with the Control key, just the caret moves. The user can use the Space key to toggle selection of the item under the caret.
| caretUID | property | 
protected var caretUID:String
The UID of the item under the caret.
| collection | property | 
protected var collection:ICollectionView
      An ICollectionView that represents the data provider.
      When you set the dataProvider property,
      Flex wraps the data provider as necessary to 
      support the ICollectionView interface and 
      sets this property to the result.
      The AdvancedListBase class then uses this property to access
      data in the provider.
      When you  get the dataProvider property, 
      Flex returns this value.  
     
| columnCount | property | 
columnCount:int  [read-write] The number of columns to be displayed in a TileList control or items in a HorizontalList control. For the data grids, specifies the number of visible columns.
Note: Setting this property has no effect on a DataGrid control, which bases the number of columns on the control width and the individual column widths.
 The default value is 4.
    public function get columnCount():int
    public function set columnCount(value:int):void
| columnWidth | property | 
columnWidth:Number  [read-write] The width of the control's columns. This property is used by TileList and HorizontalList controls; It has no effect on data grid controls, where you set the individual column widths.
 The default value is 50.
    public function get columnWidth():Number
    public function set columnWidth(value:Number):void
| data | property | 
data:Object  [read-write] The item in the data provider this component should render when this component is used as an item renderer or item editor. The list class sets this property on each renderer or editor and the component displays the data. ListBase-derived classes support this property for complex situations like having a List of DataGrids or a DataGrid where one column is a List.
The list classes use the listData property
      in addition to the data property to determine what
      to display.
      If the list class is in a DataGrid it expects the dataField
      property of the column to map to a property in the data
      and sets selectedItem value to that property.
      If it is in a List or TileList control, it expects the 
      labelField property of the list to map to a property 
      in the data, and sets selectedItem value to that property.
      Otherwise it sets the selectedItem to the data itself.
This property uses the data provider but does not set it. In all cases, you must set the data provider in some other way.
You do not set this property in MXML.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get data():Object
    public function set data(value:Object):void

| dataEffectCompleted | property | 
protected var dataEffectCompleted:Boolean = false
      A flag that indicates that the a data change effect has
      just completed.
      The component usually responds by cleaning up various 
      internal data structures on the next 
      updateDisplayList() call.
     
| dataItemWrappersByRenderer | property | 
protected var dataItemWrappersByRenderer:Dictionary
A dictionary mapping item renderers to the ItemWrappers used to supply their data. Only applicable if a data effect is running.
| dataProvider | property | 
dataProvider:Object  [read-write] 
      Set of data to be viewed.
      This property lets you use most types of objects as data providers.
      If you set the dataProvider property to an Array, 
      it will be converted to an ArrayCollection. If you set the property to
      an XML object, it will be converted into an XMLListCollection with
      only one item. If you set the property to an XMLList, it will be 
      converted to an XMLListCollection.  
      If you set the property to an object that implements the 
      IList or ICollectionView interface, the object will be used directly.
           
As a consequence of the conversions, when you get the 
      dataProvider property, it will always be
      an ICollectionView, and therefore not necessarily be the type of object
      you used to  you set the property.
      This behavior is important to understand if you want to modify the data 
      in the data provider: changes to the original data may not be detected, 
      but changes to the ICollectionView object that you get back from the 
      dataProvider property will be detected.
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get dataProvider():Object
    public function set dataProvider(value:Object):void

| dataTipField | property | 
dataTipField:String  [read-write] 
      Name of the field in the data provider items to display as the 
      data tip. By default, the list looks for a property named 
      label on each item and displays it.
      However, if the data objects do not contain a label 
      property, you can set the dataTipField property to
      use a different property in the data object. An example would be 
      "FullName" when viewing a
      set of people's names retrieved from a database.
     
      
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get dataTipField():String
    public function set dataTipField(value:String):void
| dataTipFunction | property | 
dataTipFunction:Function  [read-write] 
      User-supplied function to run on each item to determine its dataTip.  
      By default, the list looks for a property named label 
      on each data provider item and displays it.
      However, some items do not have a label property 
      nor do they have another property that can be used for displaying 
      in the rows. An example is a data set that has lastName and firstName 
      fields, but you want to display full names. You can supply a 
      dataTipFunction that finds the appropriate
      fields and return a displayable string. The 
      dataTipFunction is also good for handling formatting
      and localization.
           
The dataTipFunction takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String:
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get dataTipFunction():Function
    public function set dataTipFunction(value:Function):void
| defaultColumnCount | property | 
protected var defaultColumnCount:int = 4
The default number of columns to display. This value is used if the calculation for the number of columns results in a value less than 1 when trying to calculate the column count based on size or content.
 The default value is 4.
| defaultRowCount | property | 
protected var defaultRowCount:int = 4
The default number of rows to display. This value is used if the calculation for the number of columns results in a value less than 1 when trying to calculate the row count based on size or content.
 The default value is 4.
| dragEnabled | property | 
dragEnabled:Boolean  [read-write] 
      A flag that indicates whether you can drag items out of
      this control and drop them on other controls.
      If true, dragging is enabled for the control.
      If the dropEnabled property is also true,
      you can drag items and drop them within this control
      to reorder the items.
           
 The default value is false.
    public function get dragEnabled():Boolean
    public function set dragEnabled(value:Boolean):void
| dragImage | property | 
dragImage:IUIComponent  [read-only] An instance of a class that displays the visuals during a drag and drop operation.
 The default value is mx.controls.listClasses.ListItemDragProxy.
    protected function get dragImage():IUIComponent
| dragImageOffsets | property | 
dragImageOffsets:Point  [read-only] The offset of the drag image for drag and drop.
    protected function get dragImageOffsets():Point
| dragMoveEnabled | property | 
dragMoveEnabled:Boolean  [read-write] 
      A flag that indicates whether items can be moved instead
      of just copied from the control as part of a drag-and-drop
      operation.
      If true, and the dragEnabled property
      is true, items can be moved.
      Often the data provider cannot or should not have items removed
      from it, so a MOVE operation should not be allowed during
      drag-and-drop.
           
 The default value is false.
    public function get dragMoveEnabled():Boolean
    public function set dragMoveEnabled(value:Boolean):void
| dropEnabled | property | 
dropEnabled:Boolean  [read-write] A flag that indicates whether dragged items can be dropped onto the control.
If you set this property to true,
      the control accepts all data formats, and assumes that
      the dragged data matches the format of the data in the data provider.
      If you want to explicitly check the data format of the data
      being dragged, you must handle one or more of the drag events,
      such as dragOver, and call the DragEvent's
      preventDefault() method to customize
      the way the list class accepts dropped data.
When you set dropEnabled to true, 
      Flex automatically calls the showDropFeedback() 
      and hideDropFeedback() methods to display the drop indicator.
 The default value is false.
    public function get dropEnabled():Boolean
    public function set dropEnabled(value:Boolean):void
| explicitColumnCount | property | 
protected var explicitColumnCount:int = -1
      The column count requested by explicitly setting the
      columnCount property.
     
| explicitColumnWidth | property | 
protected var explicitColumnWidth:Number
      The column width requested by explicitly setting the 
      columnWidth.
     
| explicitRowCount | property | 
protected var explicitRowCount:int = -1
      The row count requested by explicitly setting
      rowCount.
     
| explicitRowHeight | property | 
protected var explicitRowHeight:Number
      The row height requested by explicitly setting
      rowHeight.
     
| freeItemRenderers | property | 
protected var freeItemRenderers:Array
A stack of unused item renderers. Most list classes recycle renderers they've already created as they scroll out of the displayable area; doing so saves time during scrolling. The recycled renderers are stored here.
| highlightIndicator | property | 
protected var highlightIndicator:Sprite
The DisplayObject that contains the graphics that indicates which renderer is highlighted.
| highlightItemRenderer | property | 
protected var highlightItemRenderer:IListItemRenderer
The renderer that is currently rolled over or under the caret.
| highlightUID | property | 
protected var highlightUID:String
The UID of the item that is current rolled over or under the caret.
| iconField | property | 
iconField:String  [read-write] The name of the field in the data provider object that determines what to display as the icon. By default, the list class does not try to display icons with the text in the rows. However, by specifying an icon field, you can specify a graphic that is created and displayed as an icon in the row. This property is ignored by DataGrid.
The renderers will look in the data provider object for a property of the name supplied as the iconField. If the value of the property is a Class, it will instantiate that class and expect it to be an instance of an IFlexDisplayObject. If the value of the property is a String, it will look to see if a Class exists with that name in the application, and if it can't find one, it will also look for a property on the document with that name and expect that property to map to a Class.
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get iconField():String
    public function set iconField(value:String):void
| iconFunction | property | 
iconFunction:Function  [read-write] A user-supplied function to run on each item to determine its icon. By default the list does not try to display icons with the text in the rows. However, by specifying an icon function, you can specify a Class for a graphic that will be created and displayed as an icon in the row. This property is ignored by data grid controls.
The iconFunction takes a single argument which is the item
      in the data provider and returns a Class. 
      Shown below is the signature of the function:
iconFunction(item:Object):Class
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get iconFunction():Function
    public function set iconFunction(value:Function):void
| itemRenderer | property | 
itemRenderer:IFactory  [read-write] The custom item renderer for the control. You can specify a drop-in, inline, or custom item renderer.
The default item renderer depends on the component class. For example, the AdvancedDataGrid class uses AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer.
    public function get itemRenderer():IFactory
    public function set itemRenderer(value:IFactory):void
| itemsNeedMeasurement | property | 
protected var itemsNeedMeasurement:Boolean = true
      A flag that indicates whether the columnWidth 
      and rowHeight properties need to be calculated.
      This property is set to true if a style changes that can affect the
      measurements of the renderer, or if the data provider is changed.
     
| itemsSizeChanged | property | 
protected var itemsSizeChanged:Boolean = false
      A flag that indicates that the size of the renderers may have changed.
      The component usually responds by re-applying the data items to all of
      the renderers on the next updateDisplayList() call.
      There is an assumption that re-applying the items will invalidate the
      item renderers and cause them to re-measure.
     
| iterator | property | 
protected var iterator:IViewCursor
The main IViewCursor instance used to fetch items from the data provider and pass the items to the renderers. At the end of any sequence of code, it must always be positioned at the topmost visible item being displayed.
| iteratorValid | property | 
protected var iteratorValid:Boolean = true
      A flag that indicates that a page fault as occurred and that
      the iterator's position is not valid (not positioned at the topmost
      item being displayed).
      If the component gets a page fault (an ItemPending error), 
      it sets iteratorValid to false.  Code that
      normally handles the rendering of items checks this flag and does not 
      run until the page of data comes in from the server.
     
| keySelectionPending | property | 
protected var keySelectionPending:Boolean = false
      A flag that indicates if keyboard selection was interrupted by 
      a page fault.  The component responds by suspending the rendering
      of items until the page of data arrives.
      The finishKeySelection() method will be called
      when the paged data arrives
     
| labelField | property | 
labelField:String  [read-write] 
      The name of the field in the data provider items to display as the label. 
      By default the list looks for a property named label 
      on each item and displays it.
      However, if the data objects do not contain a label 
      property, you can set the labelField property to
      use a different property in the data object. An example would be 
      "FullName" when viewing a set of people names fetched from a database.
           
 The default value is "label".
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get labelField():String
    public function set labelField(value:String):void
| labelFunction | property | 
labelFunction:Function  [read-write] 
      A user-supplied function to run on each item to determine its label.  
      By default, the list looks for a property named label 
      on each data provider item and displays it.
      However, some data sets do not have a label property
      nor do they have another property that can be used for displaying.
      An example is a data set that has lastName and firstName fields
      but you want to display full names.
           
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. 
For most components, the label function takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String.
      myLabelFunction(item:Object):String
           The method signature for the data grid classes is:
      myLabelFunction(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String
     
      where item contains the DataGrid item object, and
      column specifies the DataGrid column.
 The default value is null.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get labelFunction():Function
    public function set labelFunction(value:Function):void
| lastDropIndex | property | 
protected var lastDropIndex:int
The most recently calculated index where the drag item should be added to the drop target.
| lastSeekPending | property | 
protected var lastSeekPending:ListBaseSeekPending
The most recent seek that caused a page fault. If there are multiple page faults, only the most recent one is of interest, as that is where to position the iterator and start rendering rows again.
| listContent | property | 
protected var listContent:AdvancedListBaseContentHolder
      An internal display object that parents all of the item renderers,
      selection and highlighting indicators and other supporting graphics.
      This is roughly equivalent to the contentPane in the 
      Container class, and is used for managing scrolling.
     
| listData | property | 
listData:BaseListData  [read-write] 
      
      When a component is used as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in
      item editor, Flex initializes the listData property
      of the component with the additional data from the list control.
      The component can then use the listData property
      and the data property to display the appropriate
      information as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor.
           
You do not set this property in MXML or ActionScript; Flex sets it when the component is used as a drop-in item renderer or drop-in item editor.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get listData():BaseListData
    public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void

 The default value is 0.
| offscreenExtraRows | property | 
public var offscreenExtraRows:int = 0
The number of extra item renderers the layout algorithm can use when constructing animations for data effects. Changes that take place in the data provider corresponding to the items visible onscreen or this many items before or after the items onscreen will be subject to full effects processing. Items outside this range may not be animated perfectly by the effects.
A reasonable value for this property is approximately the number of rows visible onscreen. Setting it to a very large value may cause performance problems when used with a dataProvider with many items.
 The default value is 0.
| offscreenExtraRowsBottom | property | 
protected var offscreenExtraRowsBottom:int = 0
The number of offscreen items currently below the bottommost visible item renderer
| offscreenExtraRowsTop | property | 
protected var offscreenExtraRowsTop:int = 0
The number of offscreen items currently above the topmost visible renderer. This number will be <= offscreenExtraRows / 2.
| rendererChanged | property | 
protected var rendererChanged:Boolean = false
      A flag that indicates that the renderer changed.
      The component usually responds by destroying all existing renderers
      and redrawing all of the renderers on the next 
      updateDisplayList() call.
     
| reservedItemRenderers | property | 
protected var reservedItemRenderers:Object
A hash map of currently unused item renderers that may be used again in the near future. Used when running data effects. The map is indexed by the data provider item's UID.
| rowCount | property | 
rowCount:int  [read-write] Number of rows to be displayed. If the height of the component has been explicitly set, this property might not have any effect.
For a data grid controls, the rowCount property includes the  
      header row. 
      So, for a data grid control with 3 body rows and a header row, 
      the rowCount property is 4.
 The default value is 4.
    public function get rowCount():int
    public function set rowCount(value:int):void
| rowHeight | property | 
rowHeight:Number  [read-write] 
      The height of the rows in pixels.
      Unless the variableRowHeight property is
      true, all rows are the same height.  
      If not specified, the row height is based on
      the font size and other properties of the renderer.
     
    public function get rowHeight():Number
    public function set rowHeight(value:Number):void
| rowInfo | property |

      and highlight indicators are drawn.
     
| selectionTweens | property | 
protected var selectionTweens:Object
A hash table of selection tweens. This allows the component to quickly find and clean up any tweens in progress if the set of selected items is cleared. The table is indexed by the item's UID.
| showCaret | property | 
protected var showCaret:Boolean
      A flag that indicates whether to show caret.  
      This property is usually set
      to false when mouse activity is detected and set back to 
      true when the keyboard is used for selection.
     
| showDataTips | property | 
showDataTips:Boolean  [read-write] 
      A flag that indicates whether dataTips are displayed for text in the rows.
      If true, dataTips are displayed.  DataTips
      are tooltips designed to show the text that is too long for the row.
      If you set a dataTipFunction, dataTips are shown regardless of whether the
      text is too long for the row.
     
      
 The default value is false.
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get showDataTips():Boolean
    public function set showDataTips(value:Boolean):void
| unconstrainedRenderers | property | 
protected var unconstrainedRenderers:Object
A hash map of item renderers that are not subject to the layout algorithms of the list
| value | property | 
value:Object  [read-only] The selected item, or the data or label field of the selected item. If the selected item is a Number or String the value is the item. If the item is an object, the value is the data property if it exists, or the label property if it exists.
Note: Using selectedItem is often preferable. This
      property exists for backward compatibility with older applications
This property can be used as the source for data binding.
    public function get value():Object
| variableRowHeight | property | 
variableRowHeight:Boolean  [read-write] 
      A flag that indicates whether the individual rows can have different
      height.  This property is ignored by TileList and HorizontalList.
      If true, individual rows can have different height values.
     
      
 The default value is false.
    public function get variableRowHeight():Boolean
    public function set variableRowHeight(value:Boolean):void
| visibleData | property | 
protected var visibleData:Object
A hash table of data provider item renderers currently in view. The table is indexed by the data provider item's UID and is used to quickly get the renderer used to display a particular item.
| wordWrap | property | 
wordWrap:Boolean  [read-write] 
      A flag that indicates whether text in the row should be word wrapped.
      If true, enables word wrapping for text in the rows.
      Only takes effect if variableRowHeight is also 
      true
           
 The default value is false.
    public function get wordWrap():Boolean
    public function set wordWrap(value:Boolean):void
| wordWrapChanged | property | 
protected var wordWrapChanged:Boolean = false
      A flag that indicates whether the value of the wordWrap 
      property has changed since the last time the display list was updated.
      This property is set when you change the wordWrap 
      property value, and is reset 
      to false by the updateDisplayList() method.
      The component usually responds by re-applying the data items to all of
      the renderers on the next updateDisplayList() call.
      This is different from itemsSizeChanged because it further indicates
      that re-applying the data items to the renderers may not invalidate them
      since the only thing that changed was whether or not the renderer should
      factor in wordWrap into its size calculations
     
| AdvancedListBase | () | Constructor | 
public function AdvancedListBase()
Constructor.
| addDataEffectItem | () | method | 
public function addDataEffectItem(item:Object):void
      Adds an item renderer if a data change effect is running.
      The item renderer should correspond to a recently added
      data item in the data provider's collection that isn't
      yet being displayed.
     
      This function will be called by an AddItemAction

| prepareDataEffect | () | method | 
| removeDataEffectItem | () | method | 
public function removeDataEffectItem(item:Object):void
      Removes an item renderer if a data change effect is running.
      The item renderer must correspond to data that has already
      been removed from the data provider collection.
     
      This function will be called by a RemoveItemAction
      effect as part of a data change effect to specify the point
      at which a data item ceases to displayed by the control using
      an item renderer.
     
      
Parameters
| item:Object— The item renderer to remove from the control's layout. | 
| removeIndicators | () | method | 
protected function removeIndicators(uid:String):void
Cleans up selection highlights and other associated graphics for a given item in the data provider.
Parameters
| uid:String— The UID of the data provider item | 
| scrollHorizontally | () | method | 
protected function scrollHorizontally(pos:int, deltaPos:int, scrollUp:Boolean):void
Adjusts the renderers in response to a change in scroll position.
The list classes attempt to optimize scrolling
      when the scroll position has changed by less than
      the number of visible rows.  In that situation
      some rows are unchanged and just need to be moved,
      other rows are removed and then new rows are added.
      If the scroll position changes too much, all old rows are removed
      and new rows are added by calling the makeRowsAndColumns()
      method for the entire viewable area.
Not implemented in AdvancedListBase because the default list is single column and therefore doesn't scroll horizontally.
Parameters
| pos:int— The new scroll position. | |
| deltaPos:int— The change in position.  It is always
      a positive number. | |
| scrollUp:Boolean—trueif scroll position
      is getting smaller. | 
| scrollPositionToIndex | () | method | 
protected function scrollPositionToIndex(horizontalScrollPosition:int, verticalScrollPosition:int):int
Returns the data provider index for the item at the first visible row and column for the given scroll positions.
Parameters
| horizontalScrollPosition:int— ThehorizontalScrollPositionproperty value corresponding to the scroll position. | |
| verticalScrollPosition:int— TheverticalScrollPositionproperty value corresponding to the scroll position. | 
| int— The data provider index. | 
| scrollToIndex | () | method | 
public function scrollToIndex(index:int):Boolean
      Ensures that the data provider item at the given index is visible.
      If the item is visible, the verticalScrollPosition
      property is left unchanged even if the item is not the first visible
      item. If the item is not currently visible, the 
      verticalScrollPosition
      property is changed make the item the first visible item, unless there
      aren't enough rows to do so because the 
      verticalScrollPosition value is limited by the 
      maxVerticalScrollPosition property.
           
Parameters
| index:int— The index of the item in the data provider. | 
| Boolean—trueifverticalScrollPositionchanged. |

      other rows are removed and then new rows are added.
      If the scroll position changes too much, all old rows are removed
      and new rows are added by calling the makeRowsAndColumns()
      method for the entire viewable area.
Parameters
| pos:int— The new scroll position. | |
