I've created a custom itemRenderer in AS3 that derives from UIComponent and that contains a UITextField as a child. (This might seem a little over-complex for what I'm describing, but I have other use for doing it this way... :-)) I override commitProperties and do the following: override protected function commitProperties():void { super.commitProperties(); textField.text = ... // get text value from data (works okay) if (data && data is MyClass && MyClass(data).notAvailable) { textField.textColor = textField.getStyle("disabledColor"); textField.setStyle("fontStyle", "italic"); } else { textField.textColor = textField.getStyle("color"); textField.setStyle("fontStyle", "normal"); } } The result is that I *do* get the disabled color when appropriate, but I *don't* get the italics. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance for your help!
