Note: This property must be overridden in any class that extends SelectableList.
The default value is 0.
Implementation
public function get rowCount():uintExample ( How to use this example )

selectable | property |
selectable:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the items in the list
can be selected. A value of true indicates that the list items
can be selected; a value of false indicates that they cannot be.
The default value is true.
Implementation
public function get selectable():Boolean public function set selectable(value:Boolean):voidRelated API Elements
selectedIndex | property |
selectedIndex:int| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets the index of the item that is selected in a single-selection list. A single-selection list is a list in which only one item can be selected at a time.
A value of -1 indicates that no item is selected; if multiple selections are made, this value is equal to the index of the item that was selected last in the group of selected items.
When ActionScript is used to set this property, the item at the specified index
replaces the current selection. When the selection is changed programmatically,
a change event object is not dispatched.
Implementation
public function get selectedIndex():int public function set selectedIndex(value:int):voidRelated API Elements
Example ( How to use this example )

trace("You have clicked: " + list.selectedItem.label + " in row " + list.selectedIndex);
}
selectedIndices | property |
selectedIndices:Array| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets an array that contains the items that were selected from a multiple-selection list.
To replace the current selection programmatically, you can make an
explicit assignment to this property. You can clear the current selection
by setting this property to an empty array or to a value of undefined.
If no items are selected from the list of items, this property is
undefined.
The sequence of values in the array reflects the order in which the items
were selected from the multiple-selection list. For example, if you click the second
item from the list, then the third item, and finally the first item, this property
contains an array of values in the following sequence: [1,2,0].
Implementation
public function get selectedIndices():Array public function set selectedIndices(value:Array):voidRelated API Elements
selectedItem | property |

| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets the item that was selected from a single-selection list. For a multiple-selection list in which multiple items are selected, this property contains the item that was selected last.
If no selection is made, the value of this property is null.
Implementation
public function get selectedItem():Object public function set selectedItem(value:Object):voidRelated API Elements
Example ( How to use this example )
This example traces the label and row index of any item in a list that was clicked:
import fl.controls.List;
import fl.data.DataProvider;

}
selectedItems | property |
selectedItems:Array| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets an array that contains the objects for the items that were selected from the multiple-selection list.
For a single-selection list, the value of this property is an
array containing the one selected item. In a single-selection
list, the allowMultipleSelection property is set to
false.
Implementation
public function get selectedItems():Array public function set selectedItems(value:Array):voidRelated API Elements
Example ( How to use this example )
The following example creates to List component instances and copies the selected items from list A to list B:
import fl.controls.List;
