I know it’s been almost a year already but maybe someone needs very same knowledge.

Component are nothing more than blocks of pre-made code you can populate with data. There are few default components in Flash, for example List, FLVPlayback or UILoader to name most known. You can access them by opening Components window (and edit using Component Inspector) by clicking on Window -> Components on the top bar in Flash. They appear in the application from Flash MX version.

Your second issue is showing that method addItem is not defined for TextField, which is of course right. You need to open Components window, drag list component and name it’s instance ‘my_lst’ to follow the tutorial.

Good luck!

But not on this part..

my_lst.addItem({label:userTitle, data:userTitle});

I want the data to be what’s inside the news.

Well, actually what I’m using is User.. It’s for a little app I’m making..

I have this code:

function announceLabel(e:ListEvent):void {
var list:List = e.target as List;
var item:Object = e.userTitle;
trace(“Label: ” + item.label);
trace(“Label displayed: ” + list.itemToLabel(item));
infoBox.text = list.itemToLabel(item);
infoBox.appendText(“\n”);
infoBox.appendText(item.label);
}

to display the data into a text box, but I don’t have any data.

Help?

Thanks …great work!!
