Hi James,
You can specify custom styles for the buttons, message and title of your Alert control in CSS or in AS3. The Alert control also inherits styles from 'Panel' allowing you to set backgroundAlpha, backgroundColor, borderStyle, etc. This is covered in the Alert control documentation: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/controls/Alert.html#sty leSummary If this doesn't answer your question, could you post more detail regarding the problems you are experiencing or what you are trying to achieve?

If anybody has a way to-do it an example would be nice. I've tried taking the Alert into a private function, however backgroundAlpha, background colors and text colors don't seem to be available. I'll have to assume if this can't be done either through AS3 or through CSS that I will have to write a popup to substitute for the alert.show. Thanks in advance James
