AS3: Drag to select multiple tiles in TileList

Im working a project with two of my fellow students and we would like to be able to drag the cursor over a tilelist to select multiple tiles. We cant really find any function to do this, is it possible to do it some how?

Best regards

Thanks

This should give you an idea of what you want to accomplish:

tileList = new TileList();
tileList.allowMultipleSelection = true;
tileList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startSelecting);
tileList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopSelecting);

function startSelecting(e:MouseEvent):void 
{
    tileList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
    if (CellRenderer(e.target))
    {
        CellRenderer(e.target).selected = true;
    }
}

function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void 
{
    if (CellRenderer(e.target))
    {
        CellRenderer(e.target).selected = true;
    }
}

function stopSelecting(e:MouseEvent):void 
{
    tileList.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
}

You'll definitely want to customize this to suit your needs, but basically it adds a few mouse event listeners to the tile list and selects any tile that has been rolled over while the mouse button is pressed.
