Never mind, I made my changes a little more slowly and found my red! -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Spratt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 11:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox color ?
Well I used this and it works fine, but the color is purple, I want red, and I am clueless how to set all those properties, even after I looked in the docs. Red offset?? What the heck is that? I tried changing things at random and managed to blow away the down arrow completely. Will someone tell me what I need to do to get a "red" background? Right now I'd take any shade!
