Douglas,

You can set the style in an event handler, like so:

<mx:Grid>
  <mx:Repeater id="r">
    <mx:GridRow id="row"
                initialize="row[r.currentIndex]
                            .setStyle('backgroundColor', 
                                      r.currentIndex % 2 == 0 
                                        ? 0xFFFFFF 
                                        : 0xDDDDDD)">
      <mx:GridItem>
        ...
      </mx:GridItem> 
    </mx:GridRow>
  </mx:Repeater>
</mx:Grid>

Enjoy,
Adam

Subject: [flexcoders] alternate cell colours in a grid

 got this code below building a grid dynamically....how to alternate
teh gridItem colours???
I tried
backgroundColor='{ currentIndex%2 == 0 ? "#EEEEEE" : "#CCCCCCC" }'
but apparently can't use bindings in style settings

oh..can't use bindings in the styleName property either.

DK
<mx:Grid id="daGrid" horizontalGap="0" verticalGap="0">
<mx:GridRow id="headerRow" >
<mx:Repeater id="r" dataProvider="{ getGridHeader() }">
<mx:GridItem height="20" colSpan="4" hScrollPolicy="off" width="{
gridWidth / numHours }" borderColor="Black" borderSides="left, right,
bottom" borderStyle="solid" borderThickness="1" ><mx:Label text="{
r.currentItem }"/></mx:GridItem>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:GridRow>


oh, 

 function getGridHeader() : Array       {
                        builds a array of values: 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, .....,
9PM
                        }
                        return myArray;
                }
