title: Recognize a holding/long touch on a list component in Flex Mobile
body: <p>I´am trying to create my own custom list component in a Flex mobile Project which fires an Event when the user touches a listitem and holds the finger down for a given time.
  Some kind of "longTouch"-Event like its implemented on native android listitems to edit the entry for example.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to listen for the MOUSE_DOWN Event to start a timer and dispatch an event when the timer finished. But this approach failed because i cant get the listitem that was pressed by the user because the List component updates the "selectedItem"-property only after the user lifts his finger from the list.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
