[flexcoders] Re: dataGrid - hightlight row
I have searched Flex Help for the word rowBG, but could not find anything. Could you please tell me at what point do I need to create displayObject with the name rowBG?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: dataGrid - hightlight row
rowBG won't be in the help. The doc does explain the lifecycle events and that plus examination of the source code should indicate that you would not create one on your own, but use the ones created for you, probably at the end of updateDisplayList From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 9:00 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: dataGrid - hightlight row I have searched Flex Help for the word rowBG, but could not find anything.
