[flexcoders] ComboBox : HBox as ItemRenderer - textRollOverColor problem

[cwicky99]

So I have an itemRenderer which simply displays text and an
image...something like:

<mx:HBox>
     <mx:Image .... />
     <mx:Label text="{data.anme}" />
</mx:HBox>

My ComboBox is configured in MXML such as:

<mx:ComboBox id="foo" itemRenderer="MyComboRenderer" />

My CSS has:

ComboBox {
     textRollOverColor=0xFF0000;
}

So what I want is for the items in my ComboBox ("foo") to have "red"
text on the Label when the item is rolled over...but this isn't
happening.  How can I get this to work?  I should mention I prefer to
keep the style stuff out of the code and in a CSS file.
