Amy is right,
the code was:
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
super.data = value;
}
maybe its preferable to have :
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if (value != null)
{
super.data = value;
}
}
What i usually do is check for null and then if not do any custom logic:
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if (value != null)
{
super.data = value;
//pseudo
if (value is supposed to be shown in red)
{
make the background red
}
else
{
//reset component to solve renderer re-use issues
reset color to Grey
}
}
}
