Pass in properties to a Flex ItemRenderer

If you need to pass in some values to an item renderer, you can use the following util.

 package utils {  
  import mx.core.ClassFactory;  
  import mx.core.IFactory;  
  public class ItemRendererUtil {  
   public static function createWithProperties(renderer:Class, properties:Object):IFactory {  
    var factory:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(renderer);  
    factory.properties = properties;  
    return factory;  
   }  
  }  
 }

And how to use on your datagroup / list…

  <s:DataGroup dataProvider=“{new ArrayCollection(data as Array)}” itemRenderer=“{ItemRendererUtil.createWithProperties(renderers.ShuttleBoxRenderer, {stageLevel: stageLevel})}”>  
   <s:layout>  
    <s:HorizontalLayout/>  
   </s:layout>  
  </s:DataGroup>

And how to handle incoming value in your ItemRenderer…

  <fx:Declarations>  
   <fx:Number id=“stageLevel”/>  
 </fx:Declarations>


Can someone share this with the prosigner, so he stops swearing?
