Multiple images in item renderer

[benmarinic]

Hello and Happy New Year!

I'm building an app for iPad which has quite complex item renderer requirements.  One of the requirements is that there has to be an icon which cycles through an array of images (fading in and out to the next in the array).  I was thinking of extending iconitemrenderer because I need caching among other things, however it only support 1 icon.  I either need to be able to create n number of icons and faded them in and out or invalidate the item renderer and pass in another icon from my array but that will make the fade in/out difficult.  Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks

Ben

Check out the source code in this samples: http://coenraets.org/blog/2010/02/more-flex-4-spark-itemrenderer-samples/

You have to extend the item renderer in mxml to define your own layout and define multiple states to handle the transitions.

@benmarinic Did you find the solution to adding more number of icons for iconItemRenderer? The mxml method is really easy to implement, however, I too wanted to implement it extending the iconItemRender or some similar ways from actionscript because it is optimized for mobile. I'd really appreciate if you could share your code. Thanks.
