Thanks a million... you got me on the right path.
Actually I had to override the ListBase class's as the List class was
overriding this function.
//----------------------------------------------------
// Override drawHighlightIndicator() function from ListBase
//----------------------------------------------------
/** Import ListBase, IListItemRenderer, Sprite and Graphics classes
* to override drawHighlightIndicator() function in ListBase
*/
override protected function drawHighlightIndicator(
indicator:Sprite, x:Number, y:Number,
width:Number, height:Number, color:uint,
itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
{
var g:Graphics = Sprite(indicator).graphics;
g.clear();
//g.beginFill(color1); //** no fill on rollover highlight
g.lineStyle(3,color2,1);//add lineStyle to add 3 pt. border
g.drawRect(0, 01, width, height);
//g.endFill();
indicator.x = x;
indicator.y = y;
}
//----------------------------------------------------
