How to know when item in ItemRenderer was selected

ItemRenderer doesn't have event itself that let us know that current ItemRenderer was selected (only owner - List have change event)

Easy way to handle change state is to override selected setter:

override public function set selected(v:Boolean):void

{

    var oldValue:Boolean = selected;

   

    super.selected = v;

   

    if(oldValue != selected)

    {
        trace("change");

        if(selected)

        {

            trace("selected");

        }else{

            trace("deselected");

        }

    }

}
