You could use ITEM_ROLL_OVER instead, or set alpha to 0.

I have an component (HBox) that I'm using for a List's itemRenderer. I added handlers for "rollOver" and "rollOut" to try to make a "delete this item" button appear and disappear for each item as you roll over / out of it. The button was fizzling on and off until I set the background color and alpha of the HBox (to 0x00000 and 1.0)... then the button appeared and disappeared as expected. Changed the color to 0xFFFFFF to make it look better and thought I was home free. Only issue is that the list's selection highlight doesn't show thru the backgroundColor. Is there any other way to get the HBox's rollover handler to see the rollOver without setting the background color/alpha? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks! -- TC
