(this is literally my 1st flex app, so please bear with me as I learn...) I don't follow your example. I add a style function to both the column and grid which sets the font color just fine. but adding "backgroundColor:0xFFFFF" never does anything, unless I swap to a custom item renderer, then I lose the reference to what column I'm in (so I can't set it to the correct color).
As far as I can follow, those links provide info on setting the entire row/column to a particular color, not the individual cell. > Just add a style function: > > http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2008/06/musings-on-advanceddatagrid- > part-1.html >
