    On page 149 I can’t find the closing tag for the HBox.

    Good catch, Michael. That looks like a typo.

    On page 149 of Chapter 10, there is some sample code included for the section Implementing List Selection. There is an extra, unclosed HBox tag that should be removed.

    In the Search example (page 152), I noticed that the tool tips do not pop up consistently, and do not pop up at all after the first search, until you rerun the app. By consistently, e.g., I searched my name “scott gardner” and got several short-titled responses, yet every search result had a tool tip (you inferred that the tool tip would only pop up for clipped titles), however when I searched “learn flex 3″ (after rerunning the app) only the clipped titles received a tool tip, as you noted.

    I’m on chapter 10 and starting to play around with Complex Data, Lists, XML etc. Sure would be nice to be able to run that code and tinker with it without having to type it all out. I’m talking pages 141, 143, 144.

    Is there a place from which it can be downloaded?

    Also, the only way I could get your code example on page 141 to actually run was by using ArrayCollection (instead of dataProvider and Array). This was after much searching in the online language reference (mostly gibberish to me but I got what I needed eventually).

    Your code as it stands would not compile – Flex did not agree that ‘columns’ are related to ‘Array’.

    A snippet of my code…
