Well.. the first thing to note is using == means compare, not assign. So changing:
dayTitleBG == "0x002649"; TO: dayTitleBG = "0x002649"; Will take care of that. Though in playing around with this, I found that backgroundColor is expecting a datatype of uint (unsigned int). So as a test case I made a custom component similar to yours and this appeared to do the job: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="100%" horizontalAlign="right" backgroundColor="{dayTitleBG}" creationComplete="setBackground()"> <mx:Script> [Bindable] public var dayTitleBG:uint; [Bindable] public var dayBG:uint; public function setBackground():void { dayTitleBG = 0x002649; dayBG = 0xAF1E2D; } </mx:Script> <mx:VBox height="100%" backgroundColor="{dayBG}"> <mx:Label text="blah..." width="25" color="white"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:HBox> Ian Skinner wrote: > <mx:HBox width="100%" horizontalAlign="right" backgroundColor="{dayTitleBG}" > creationComplete="setBackground()"> > <mx:VBox height="100%" backgroundColor="{dayBG}"> > <mx:Script> > [Bindable] > public var dayTitleBG:String; > [Bindable] > public var dayBG:String; > > function setBackground() > { > if (data.date.month == calDate.month) > { > dayTitleBG == "0x002649"; > dayBG == "0xAF1E2D"; > } > else > { > dayTitleBG == "0x405C77"; > dayBG == "0xC35662"; > } > } > </mx:Script> > <mx:Label text="{Day.format(data.date)}" width="25" > color="white"/> > </mx:VBox> > </mx:HBox> > > What did I do wrong in this code, it is not providing the desired result of > changing the background colors.
