Access properties of component within an itemRenderer

Question

I have a VBox (vbox1.mxml) component that contain a 2 childs
component, which is Image and Label. Some snapshots of the code is
<!—vbox1.mxml - ->
<mx:VBox>
<mx:Image id="videoImg" width="100%" height="100%"
cachePolicy="off" source="{data.videoImage}" name="{data.secs}"
completeEffect="{fadeIn}" />
<mx:Label id="segmentLabel" width="50%" color="white"
textAlign="center" text="At {data.secs} secs" />
</mx:VBox>
Then I have the main application mxml (main.mxml) that will
use this component (vbox1.mxml).
<mx:TileList id="segmentTileList" width="100%"
height="95%" itemRenderer=" vbox1"
dataProvider="{vsRO.findVideoDetails.lastResult}"
rowHeight="120" columnWidth="120" backgroundColor="#646D7E"
backgroundSize="100%"/>
Question is how am I able to access the Label value that
resides within the item renderer? How can I read/write its values
from my main.mxml?

Answer 1

The code you have shown here looks correct to me.
What do you get when you print ${item.value} and ${item.value.subject}?
Just to query the base assumptions
- Is it a map of Message objects? Try the expression ${item.value.class} to see what the class of the returned object is.
- Do you also have a setter for the subject in the Message class?
I presume the Message and MessageCenter classes are in a package?
Hope this helps,
