Language Version : ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The DefaultTileListEffect class defines the default effect applied to the item renderers of a TileList control when the data in the data provider changes. When an item in the TileList control is removed, this effect first fades out the item, then moves the remaining items to their new position. When you add an item to the TileList control, this effect moves the existing items to their new position, then fades in the new item.

You use the itemsChangeEffect style property to apply this effect to a TileList control. The default value of the itemsChangeEffect style property is undefined, meaning it does not use any effect.

You typically set the TileList.offscreenExtraRowsOrColumns property when applying a data effect. Typically, you set TileList.offscreenExtraRowsOrColumns to a small even number, such as 2, for a TileList control.
