Styles
Styles are either common or associated with a specific theme. If the style is common, it can be used with any theme. If a style is associated with a specific theme, it can only be used if your application uses that theme.

Skin Parts
This component uses skins made up of skin parts. Do not set the skin parts directly. The component's skin sets the skin parts.
Skin States
To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.
Public Constants
| Constant | Defined By | ||

If true, using arrow keys to navigate within
the component wraps when it hits either end.
The default value is false.
caretIndex | property |
caretIndex:Number [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Item that is currently in focus.
The default value is -1.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the caretChange event.
Implementation
public function get caretIndex():NumberlabelField | property |
labelField:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The name of the field in the data provider items to display
as the label.
If labelField is set to an empty string (""), no field will
be considered on the data provider to represent label.
The labelFunction property overrides this property.
The default value is "label".
Implementation
public function get labelField():String public function set labelField(value:String):voidlabelFunction | property |
labelFunction:Function| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
A user-supplied function to run on each item to determine its label.
The labelFunction property overrides
the labelField property.
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.
The label function takes a single argument which is the item in the data provider and returns a String.
myLabelFunction(item:Object):String
The default value is null.
Implementation
public function get labelFunction():Function public function set labelFunction(value:Function):voidrequireSelection | property |
requireSelection:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
If true, a data item must always be selected in the control.
If the value is true, the selectedIndex property
is always set to a value between 0 and (dataProvider.length - 1).
The default value is false for most subclasses, except TabBar. In that case, the default is true.
The default value is false.
Implementation
public function get requireSelection():Boolean public function set requireSelection(value:Boolean):voidselectedIndex | property |
selectedIndex:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The 0-based index of the selected item, or -1 if no item is selected.
Setting the selectedIndex property deselects the currently selected
item and selects the data item at the specified index.
The value is always between -1 and (dataProvider.length - 1).
If items at a lower index than selectedIndex are
removed from the component, the selected index is adjusted downward
accordingly.
If the selected item is removed, the selected index is set to:
- -1 if
requireSelection=falseor there are no remaining items. - 0 if
requireSelection=trueand there is at least one item.
When the user changes the selectedIndex property by interacting with the control,
the control dispatches the change and changing events.
When you change the value of the selectedIndex property programmatically,
it dispatches the valueCommit event.
The default value is -1.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the valueCommit event.
Implementation
public function get selectedIndex():int public function set selectedIndex(value:int):voidselectedItem | property |
selectedItem:*| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
The item that is currently selected. Setting this property deselects the currently selected item and selects the newly specified item.
Setting selectedItem to an item that is not
in this component results in no selection,
and selectedItem being set to undefined.
If the selected item is removed, the selected item is set to:
undefinedifrequireSelection=falseor there are no remaining items.- The first item if
requireSelection=trueand there is at least one item.
When the user changes the selectedItem property by interacting with the control,
the control dispatches the change and changing events.
When you change the value of the selectedItem property programmatically,
it dispatches the valueCommit event.
The default value is undefined.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the valueCommit event.

useVirtualLayout:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the value of the useVirtualLayout property
of the layout associated with this control.
If the layout is subsequently replaced and the value of this
property is true, then the new layout's
useVirtualLayout property is set to true.
The default value is false.

Method Detail
adjustSelection | () | method |
protected function adjustSelection(newIndex:int, add:Boolean = false):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Adjusts the selected index to account for items being added to or
removed from this component. This method adjusts the selected index
value and dispatches a valueCommit event. It does not
dispatch a change event because the change did not
occur as a direct result of user-interaction. Moreover,
it does not dispatch a changing event
or allow the cancellation of the selection.
It also does not call the itemSelected() method,
since the same item is selected;
the only thing that has changed is the index of the item.
A valueCommit event is dispatched in the next call to
the commitProperties() method.
The change and changing events are
not sent when the selectedIndex is adjusted.
Parameters
newIndex:int — The new index.
| |
add:Boolean (default = false)true if an item was added to the component,
and false if an item was removed.
|
itemAdded | () | method |
protected function itemAdded(index:int):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Called when an item has been added to this component. Selection and caret related properties are adjusted accordingly.
Parameters
index:int — The index of the item being added.
|
itemRemoved | () | method |

| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Dispatched after the focus has changed.
TheIndexChangeEvent.CARET_CHANGE constant defines the value of the
type property of the event object for a caretChange event,
which indicates that the current item in focus is about to change.
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. |
newIndex | The zero-based index of the selected item after the change. |
oldIndex | The zero-based index of the selected item before the change. |
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. |

myButton is the value of the currentTarget. |
newIndex | The zero-based index after the change. |
oldIndex | The zero-based index before the change. |
