@Patri - When used correctly cacheAsBitmap can lead to increased performance, but when used incorrectly it can lead to worse performance. Knowing when/how to use it is key. See Glenn Ruehle’s session linked above for more information.

Hello, nice work, it helps me a lot.
But I have a question.

Very nice presentation

Not so recently I started developing my item renderers by using ActionScript. At first it looks more a little bit tricky but in few days I realized that it’s not so difficult to create very nice renderers. I used Adobe TV tutorials by Piotr

Steve, do you have a suggestion how to develop viewnavigators and similar containers by using ActionScript, not MXML? One of my main concerns with Flex / AIR apps are view transitions. Transitions are really slower than in native Android or iOS apps.

ActionScript itemrenderers have excellent performance and I would be really happy if I could create views in ActionScript

Comment on Extending LabelItemRenderer to look like iTunes on the iPad by Steven Shongrunden

@Gilles Guillemin - I agree that would be a nice feature to add. I have also thought about developing it a few times, but just haven't got around to it yet.

Good one indeed, but it’s still missing a very nice feature: on iOS, the header “persists” at the top of the list. So for example, as long as there will still be titles beginning with an “A”, the “A” header stays on top of the list.
I know it’s definitely a tricky one to implement with the list component as it is but just saying that’s all
(that’s actually one feature I’ve always promised myself to develop at some point but that point has not come yet…)
