RE: [flexcoders] background color of a text?

[Joan Lafferty]

Here is an example of a custom component subclassing Label to give it a burgundy backgroundColor:   package {       import mx.controls.Label;     import flash.display.Graphics;       public class MyLabel extends Label {                            override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void              {                                     super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);                                                                         var g:Graphics = graphics;                                     g.clear();                                     g.beginFill(0xCC0033);                                     g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);                                     g.endFill();             }   } }   Hope this helps.
