The Animated Tile List attempts to fill the Visual Component gap left by Adobe in their current TileListRenderer structure. While not as sophisticated (it doesn't support drag & drop, mouse commands, or data change transitions for instance), it nevertheless provides an invalidating, caching tile list with smooth selection transitions.

Notable differences: The AnimatedTileList does not poll its children for desired row height or widths, but calculates those directly off of the numRows and numColumns properties, setting them explicitly.
