Multiple Selection in List

Question

I am using a List filled with s:MobileIconItemRenderers and would like the ability to select multiples.  If I am using the Mouse and keyboard i can use the combination of ctrl and click to accomplish this, but that's not possible on the phone.  Is there an easy way to cause this to be the default behavior?  I even tried adding a click listener and modifying the selectedItems property of the list but couldn't get that working.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I added the following function to the iconrenders click event.  (I am storing the status in a vector
protected function mobileiconitemrenderer1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
     if (outerDocument.selection.indexOf(event.currentTarget.data) == -1)
               outerDocument.selection.push(event.currentTarget.data);
               event.currentTarget.selected = true;
          else
               outerDocument.selection.splice(outerDocument.selection.indexOf(event.currentTarget.data),1 );
               event.currentTarget.selected = false;
and I also added the following to the changing event on the list
protected function lList_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
     event.preventDefault();
