The TileList control displays a number of items laid out in tiles. It displays a scroll bar on one of its axes to access all items in the list, depending on the direction property. You can set the size of the tiles by using rowHeight and columnWidth properties. Alternatively, Flex measures the item renderer for the first item in the dataProvider and uses that size for all tiles.

The TileList control has the following default sizing characteristics:

Characteristic Description
Default size Four columns and four rows. Using the default item renderer, each cell is 50 by 50 pixels, and the total size is 200 by 200 pixels.
Minimum size 0 pixels.
Maximum size 5000 by 5000.

MXML Syntaxexpanded Hide MXML Syntax

The <mx:TileList> tag inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass, but ignores the variableRowHeight and wordWrap tag attributes. It adds no additional tag attributes.
