The implementation of the listData property as defined by the IDropInListItemRenderer interface. The text of the renderer is set to the label property of the listData.

This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the dataChange event.

Implementation
public function get listData():BaseListData

Method Detail

clearStyle

()

method

public function clearStyle(styleProp:String):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Deletes a style property from this component instance.

This does not necessarily cause the getStyle() method to return undefined.

Parameters

styleProp:String — The name of the style property.

getClassStyleDeclarations

()

method

public function getClassStyleDeclarations():Array

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns an Array of CSSStyleDeclaration objects for the type selector that applies to this component, or null if none exist.

For example, suppose that component MyButton extends Button. This method first looks for a MyButton selector; then, it looks for a Button type selector; finally, it looks for a UIComponent type selector.

Returns

Array — Array of CSSStyleDeclaration objects.

getStyle

()

method

override public function getStyle(styleProp:String):*

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this component's style lookup chain.

This same method is used to get any kind of style property, so the value returned can be a Boolean, String, Number, int, uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object. Therefore the return type is simply specified as *.

If you are getting a particular style property, you know its type and often want to store the result in a variable of that type. No casting from * to that type is necessary.

var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor");

If the style property has not been set anywhere in the style lookup chain, the value returned by getStyle() is undefined. Note that undefined is a special value that is not the same as false, "", NaN, 0, or null. No valid style value is ever undefined. You can use the method IStyleManager2.isValidStyleValue() to test whether the value was set.

Parameters

styleProp:String — Name of the style property.

Returns

* — Style value.

initProtoChain

()

method

public function initProtoChain():void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

method

public function notifyStyleChangeInChildren(styleProp:String, recursive:Boolean):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

method

public function regenerateStyleCache(recursive:Boolean):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Event Detail

dataChange

Event

Event Object Type: mx.events.FlexEvent
property FlexEvent.type = mx.events.FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Dispatched when the data property changes.

When you use a component as an item renderer, the data property contains the data to display. You can listen for this event and update the component when the data property changes.

The FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dataChange event.

The properties of the event object have the following values:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	false
`cancelable`	false
`currentTarget`	The Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use `myButton.addEventListener()` to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the `currentTarget`.
`target`	The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to always access the Object listening for the event.
