Can you elaborate more? Out of range is working perfectly fine for me. Full example:
import fl.controls.List;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.events.Event;
// make a quick dataprovider with 50 items
var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
dp.addItem({label:"item "+i,value:i});
}
// make list control
var myList:List = new List();
addChild(myList);
myList.setSize(100,300);
myList.dataProvider = dp;
// wait for frame to be drawn before accessing
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleAddedToStage);
function handleAddedToStage(e:Event):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleAddedToStage);
// traces item 5
trace("Item: " + myList.getItemAt(5).label);
// traces item 35, despite out of view
trace("Item: " + myList.getItemAt(35).label);
try
{
trace("Item: " + myList.getItemAt(95).label);
}
catch (e:RangeError)
{
// traces out, value out of range
trace("Out of range");
}
}
