Using the Flex TileList component is a nice way to display a list of products. The one thing the component lacks is the ability to easily display multiple pages of content which is a typical design requirement of most web based stores or product catalgues. For this reason I extended the TileList component into a PageList component.
The PageList Component works very similar to the TileList but adds PREV/NEXT buttons to the bottom of the list and automatically calls a HTTPService to load it's data. When the User clicks 'next' to view more items the PageList component automatically fetches more records and appends them to the list. This allows the user to browse an entire catalogue of items with a very smooth and transparent process. Page count is calculated based on the viewable area and the width of list items.
UPDATE 2: I've completely re-written this class which works much better. The new PageList component has been published along with source code and demo. Click here for more details
