Hi community!

I have an ArrayCollection of objects. I'm passing this array to a horizontallist as a dataprovider and I'm using a custom itemRenderer.

When executing the application, the horizontallist is displaying

[object CustomClass][object CustomClass][object CustomClass][object CustomClass]

I've tried casting each object in the itemrenderer as following:

<mx:Label text="{(data as CustomClass).label1}"/>

But it's not working...

Thanks for any help you can provide. Regards,

Let's go for some more code =)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

    <mx:Component id="Item">
        <mx:VBox width="180">
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Spacer width="100%"/>
                <mx:Button label="x"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:Image id="thumbnail"/>
            <mx:Label width="100%" horizontalCenter="0" text="Collection"/>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="GIA"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.charg_st}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Finger Size"/>
                <mx:Label text="xxxxxx"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Carat"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.carats}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Color"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.color}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Clarity"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.clarity}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Shop"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.lgort_fp}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Resizing"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.resizing}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
            <mx:HBox width="100%">
                <mx:Label width="100" text="Price Excl. VAT"/>
                <mx:Label text="{data.net_price_fp}"/>
            </mx:HBox>
        </mx:VBox>
    </mx:Component>


    <mx:HorizontalList
        dataProvider="{GlobalData.instance.tray}" 
        columnCount="4"
        rowCount="1"
        horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
        itemRenderer="{Item}"
    />
</mx:Canvas>

FYI, the horizonalList dataprovider is an ArrayCollection of objects.

Now, the horizontallist is displaying empty items... with the correct width... The arraycollection is not empty (I'm using an alert on the click event on an item, and I do retrieve the expected data).

Hope this will help >_<
