populate ScrollingList AS3

[Joe_Hastings]

Hi, i am trying to create a scrolling list with text and icons in using AS3, however i cannot get the list to populate with anything. I thought it was a simple case of using a data provider as you would with an option stepper, this is what i tried:

import scaleform.clik.data.DataProvider;

scrollingList.dataProvider = new DataProvider(["item1", "item2", "item3", "item4"]);

any thoughts on what im doing wrong?

It Nice to see there's some help around here Matt I am looking for some insight on creating a similar Menu style to BulletStorm. I basically want Rollover menu buttons that can expand down and the buttons beneath move down! I've tried for hours using the AccordionDemo and the TreeViewDemo. Heres is the Using the AccordianDemo http://youtu.be/HCJ7zGaf2ms
and the TreeViewDemo...I cannot figure out how to have separate lists or Trees. Please help ...I thought Clik was supposed to make all this easier???

CLIK does make things easier for *MOST* UI development, in that it provides pre-built components that you can simply drag and drop and skin; however, that being said, CLIK only ships with so many pre-built widgets and examples. Making custom UI elements such as you are attempting requires a more advanced knowledge of ActionScript. The best thing I can offer to you is to study all the ActionScript that ships with CLIK, get a good book on ActionScript programming (there are several), and spend some time hacking away at it.
