Scrolling thought a list of items on a mobile device is one of the most common, and graphically taxing, interactions that developers have to support. The Adobe SDK team has gone to significant effort to optimize scrolling on mobile in the 4.5 SDK (Hero). Taking advantage of these performance optimizations requires a non-standard implementation of item renderers. Extending the new base mobile item renderer and using the new PersistanceManger class will be covered. This session is intended for developers comfortable with writing custom component in ActionScript 3. Existing knowledge of the Flex component lifecycle will be helpful, but not required. This session will be light on slides and heavy on code.
