Add a “creationComplete” event handler to your component. You should be able to do this at the top of the item declaration where the XML namespaces are defined.

If I’m developing a MXML component which is used as an item renderer for a tilelist… where should Event.Complete be placed? I tried “addEventListener” and “complete” event in the tag, but it doesn’t trigger.

When you load an image from the hash map, image.source will point to the actual bitmap data, and not the path to the image. If you’d like to keep a reference to the path, you can always create a custom image class that saves it as a separate property.

imageCache is a hash map you declare somewhere in your application. It’s where you store the bitmap data for the images you’ve loaded. Like I said above, it can be a dictionary, an associative array, or a hash map like the one I use in my examples.
