Just as the MouseWheel controlled slider idea, I had this idea when I was working on my flex MP3 player as well. I wanted to give the user the possibility to add tracks to a playlist by clicking a small plus icon in a DataGrid. There are a couple of things that have to be done to achieve this:
- Use an itemRenderer to show an Image instead of text
- Put the image in button mode so that it can be clicked
- Put an event handler on the click or double-click event of the image
- Code the event handler
