you can reference the list from its renderer using this.parentDocument

Thanksfor this. But how do you access your item renderer's list from its parent??

Hello there. I’ve been searching for a solution to a similar problem. I have a custom MXML component, which is a tree. It has some public properties in it, etc. It points to an AS class as it’s itemRenderer.

What is escaping me is the ability to target the public properties of that component from with in the AS class. I can get to the instance of the tree, but not the stuff inside the component container itself.

Now calling something like “document.myCustomTreeComponent.myPublicProperty” will work, but I shouldn’t have to go all the way out and back in just to get what should be in my “parent” container, should I?

Hoping for any help, thanks.
