A reference to the currently active instance of the item editor, if it exists.
To access the item editor instance and the new item value when an
item is being edited, you use the itemEditorInstance
property. The itemEditorInstance property
is not valid until after the event listener for
the itemEditBegin event executes. Therefore, you typically
only access the itemEditorInstance property from within
the event listener for the itemEditEnd event.
The itemEditor property defines the
class of the item editor
and, therefore, the data type of the item editor instance.
You do not set this property in MXML.

setting to determine the transparency of the background color.
Parameters
s:Sprite — A Sprite that will contain a display object
that contains the graphics for that row.
| |
rowIndex:int — The row's index in the set of displayed rows. The
header does not count; the top most visible row has a row index of 0.
This is used to keep track of the objects used for drawing
backgrounds so that a particular row can reuse the same display object
even though the index of the item that the row is rendering has changed.
| |
y:Number — The suggested y position for the background.
| |
height:Number — The suggested height for the indicator.
| |
color:uint — The suggested color for the indicator.

Dispatched when the editedItemPosition property is set
and the item can be edited.
type property of the event object for a
itemEditBegin event, which indicates that an
item is ready to be edited.
The default listener for this event performs the following actions:
createItemEditor() method.data property
from the item to the editor. By default, the item editor object is an instance
of the TextInput control. You use the itemEditor property of the
list control to specify a custom item editor class.itemEditorInstance property of the list control
to reference the item editor instance.You can write an event listener for this event to modify the data passed to the item editor. For example, you might modify the data, its format, or other information used by the item editor.
You can also create an event listener to specify the item editor used to edit the item. For example, you might have two different item editors. Within the event listener you can examine the data to be edited or other information, and open the appropriate item editor by doing the following:
preventDefault() to stop Flex from calling
the createItemEditor() method as part
of the default event listener.itemEditor property to the appropriate editor.createItemEditor() method.The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | true |
columnIndex | The zero-based index of the column associated with the event. |
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. |
itemRenderer | The item renderer for the item that is being edited. |
reason | null |
rowIndex | The zero-based index of the item associated with the event. |
target | The Object that dispatched the event;

Dispatched when the user releases the mouse button while over an item, tabs to the List or within the List, or in any other way attempts to edit an item.
The ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING constant defines the value of thetype property of the ListEvent object for a
itemEditBeginning event, which indicates that the user has
prepared to edit an item, for example, by releasing the mouse button
over the item.
The default listener for this event sets the List.editedItemPosition
property to the item that has focus, which starts the item editing session.
You typically write your own event listener for this event to
disallow editing of a specific item or items.
Calling the preventDefault() method from within your own
event listener for this event prevents the default listener from executing.
The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | true |
columnIndex | The zero-based index of the column associated with the event. |
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. |
itemRenderer | The item renderer for the item that will be edited. This property is null if this event is generated by keyboard, as the item to be edited may be off-screen. |
reason | null |
rowIndex | The zero-based index of the item associated with the event. |
target | The Object that dispatched the event;

itemEditEnd event, which indicates that an edit
session is ending.
The list components have a default handler for this event that copies the data from the item editor to the data provider of the list control. The default event listener performs the following actions:
editorDataField property of the list control to determine
the property of the item editor containing the new data and updates
the data provider item with that new data. Since the default item editor
is the TextInput control, the default value of the editorDataField property
is "text", to specify that the text property of the
TextInput contains the new item data.destroyItemEditor() method to close the item editor.You typically write an event listener for this event to perform the following actions:
itemEditEnd event
if you want to return multiple values.preventDefault() method
to stop Flex from passing the new data back to the list control and from closing
the editor. The properties of the event object have the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | true |
columnIndex | The zero-based index of the column associated with the event. |
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. |
itemRenderer | The item renderer for the item that was edited. |
reason | A constant defining the reason for the event.
The value must be a member of the ListEventReson class. |
rowIndex | The zero-based index of the item associated with the event. |
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. |
