Have you tried using the string constants AS already has for colors?
Not sure if it'll solve anything, but might work better:
setStyle("color", (data.L0 != 'Y') ? "Red" : "Black");
And are you tracing data.L0 to make sure it is what you think it is?
Other than that, I've always used mx:component-based itemRenderers
rather than AS packages. Of course, they compile down into the exact
same thing, but I found the mx: components to be a little easier to debug.
Maybe using something like this would shed a little more light:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
<mx:Label color="{((data.L0!='Y')? 0xFF0000:0x000000)}"
text="{data.L0}" />
</mx:HBox>
Assigning this as an itemRenderer to a column works for me.
