Hello folks,

I’m new to flash and actionscript, i’m in a situation where i need to iterate through each item in the list control and get the data from it.

how would i get a handle to an item at a specific index? I’ve tried getItemAt() but it throws error 1061.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

Regards,
