</div>

can somebody help me and replace the “???” in the if statement below ? I’m looking to add a description for each picture in a text field… something like: if picture1 selected, text="", else if picture2 selected, text="", else text="";

thanks!

import fl.data.DataProvider;  
import fl.controls.TileList;

var imageDesc:TextField = new TextField();  
imageDesc.x = 200;  
imageDesc.y = 200;  
addChild(imageDesc);

var picsXML:XML = \<images\>  
\<item source=“photos/thumbs/tyrusThomas.jpg”/\>  
\<item source=“photos/thumbs/derrickRose.jpg”/\>  
\<item source=“photos/thumbs/vinnyDelNegro.jpg”/\>  
\</images\>;

var homePhotos:TileList = new TileList();  
homePhotos.dataProvider = new DataProvider(picsXML);  
homePhotos.columnWidth = 90;  
homePhotos.rowHeight = 130;  
homePhotos.columnCount = 1;  
homePhotos.rowCount = homePhotos.length;  
homePhotos.height = 390;  
addChild(homePhotos);  
homePhotos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showDesc);  
function showDesc(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
if([SIZE=7]???[/SIZE])  
{  
imageDesc.text = “some text”;  
}  
}
