Generic component in a List

Question

I would like to know how I can insert a generic component
(like a Canvas whit image and label) in a List visual component.
Is it possible or there's another way for to do a list of
component ?

You want to use an itemRenderer. For example, suppose each
record of the data to be displayed in the list is like this:
{label:"Some Label", image:"URL to an image"} then you could do
this:
<mx:List ... >
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Canvas>
<mx:Label text="{data.label}" x="0" y="0" />
<mx:Image source="{data.image}" x="0" y="20" />
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:List>
The formatting in these messages makes it hard to see the
relationships. But look up itemRenderer in the help for more
details.
