Hi, Try this code:
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.backgroundColor = null; mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.drawRowFill = function (mc:MovieClip, newClr:Number):Void { mc.clear(); var bgAlpha = 100; //opaque - no alpha defined var dg = this._parent._parent; if(dg.className.indexOf("DataGrid") != -1) //this is a DataGrid or derived from it { if(dg.backgroundAlpha != undefined && dg.backgroundAlpha != null && newClr != dg.rollOverColor && newClr != dg.selectionColor && newClr != dg.selectionDisabledColor) bgAlpha = dg.backgroundAlpha; } //otherwise, the alpha will be 100, like before if (newClr == null) mc.beginFill(0xFFFFFF, bgAlpha); //white - no color defined else mc.beginFill(newClr, bgAlpha); mc.drawRect(1, 0, this.__width, this.__height); mc.endFill(); mc._width = this.__width; mc._height = this.__height; }; //this override lets us draw the background color where there are no valid rows (instead of alternating colors) mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.prototype.getNormalColor = function(Void):Number { var col; var o = this.owner; if ( !o.enabled ) col = o.getStyle("backgroundDisabledColor"); else { //empty rows get the background color. backgroundAlpha is kinda weird with this... if(this.item == undefined && o.backgroundAlpha == undefined) return o.getStyle("backgroundColor"); var itemIndex = this.rowIndex + o.__vPosition; if (this.rowIndex == undefined) col = o.getPropertiesOf(this.item).backgroundColor; else col = o.getPropertiesAt(itemIndex).backgroundColor; if (col == undefined) { var colArray = o.getStyle("alternatingRowColors"); if (colArray == undefined) col = o.getStyle("backgroundColor"); else col = colArray[itemIndex%colArray.length]; } } return col; }; The first function will let you specify that a DataGrid or List has a transparent background. To set a transparent background on the list or DataGrid, do: my_list_or_grid.backgroundAlpha = value; //value = 0-100 The second function lets you draw the list background where there are no rows present (you can omit this function if you want). Note: for this stuff to work, make sure NOT to set backgroundColor on the list or grid, and make sure to DO set alternatingRowColors (you can use anything... like [0,0]). Note that you can even use alternatingRowColors with 1 element to simulate backgroundColor (like [0xFF0000]). -=matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Coenen Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 6:25 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Transparent list component Hello gang, what is the current status on components-with-transparent-backgrounds? I did search the archives but and it seems people have been working on all sorts of patches and solutions, but is there a real definitive solution? Never thought that putting a background image in a list view component would be hard... :-) _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
