Thanks Muzak, that works great. I am now trying to find what property controls the green glow that appears around the whole listbox when it's hi-lighted as I want to lose that too and it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the docs.

Cheers!
Ali

Component styles are set through the setStyle() method.
You can do this either globally or on an instance directly.

Check the docs.
For the list:
List component > Customizing the List component


function setUserList(myUserList:List) {
    userList = myUserList;
    userList.setStyle("useRollOver", false);
    userList.setStyle("selectionColor", 0xFFFFFF);
}


regards,
Muzak

Subject: [Flashcoders] Can't set selectionColor property of List from withinclass


Hi there, I'm working on a class that is passed instances of
components so that nearly all of the code is inside the class. I want
to set the colour of selected items to white so the list always looks
the same. I am trying to set the selectionColor property from within
my class but I get the error message:
There is no property with the name 'selectionColor'
I can set this property fine from the FLA using the regular syntax:
userList.selectionColor = 0xFFFFFF

this is how I am doing it from my class (and it doesn't work!):

function setUserList(myUserList:List) {
userList = myUserList;
userList.setStyle("useRollOver", false);
userList.selectionColor = 0xFFFFFF;

}

If anyone has any ideas for the syntax of how to set this property
from within a custom class I'd be really glad to hear.
Thanks!
Ali
