var tileList:TileList = new TileList;
tileList.dataProvider = thumbArray;
this.addChild(tileList);

Although dataprovider is set, it is not getting bound, so I think I need

override public function initialize():void
{
BindingUtils.bindProperty(id of tileList, "dataProvider", this,
"thumbArray");
super.initialize();
}

But I cannot find a way of setting the tileList child id to e.g.
"myTileList" so I can talk to it. TIA,

Mic.
