creation complete

Can i use creation complete in item renderers , i have a data grid and i have kept every single cell as an item re开发者_开发知识库nderer. is it a good practice to use creation complete here. I fear events might fire up at wrong instances.suggestions are most welcomed.

Use "dataChange" even instead.

Flex might reuse an instance of the item renderer or item editor, a reused instance of an item renderer or item editor does not redispatch the creationComplete event. Instead, you can use the dataChange event with an item renderer or item editor. Flex dispatches the dataChange event every time the data property changes.

The problem with item renderers is that their number depends on the visible area and they are reused in flex.Scrolling issues are a very common problem in datagrids using itemrenderer such as Checkbox,TextInput etc., due to this.So dont use event handler on creationComplete . There is always a work around :)

creationComplete is a phase in the flex application life cycle.
