 | Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.components.List class as an alternative to this class.
The layout-specific List components in Flex 3 have been replaced by a more generic
List component that takes a generic layout. To get similar behavior from the new
List component, set the |
The TileList control displays a number of items laid out in tiles. It displays a scroll bar on one of its axes to access all items in the list, depending on the
direction property.
You can set the size of the tiles by using rowHeight
and columnWidth properties.
Alternatively, Flex measures the item renderer for the first item
in the dataProvider and uses that size for all tiles.
The TileList control has the following default sizing characteristics:
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Default size | Four columns and four rows. Using the default item renderer, the total size is 66 by 126 pixels. |
| Minimum size | 0 pixels. |
| Maximum size | 5000 by 5000. |
