However, the indicator is added as a child to rawChildren, which is
public. This means you could reach it without problems.
No, that is not true. You know why? They didn't name it! That should be a
requirement of all composites Aodbe people.
You need to name every instance, this way if us devs do want access to it we
can get it.
EECOLOR, as far as the indicator, you would have to call getStyle(), create
the class instance, loop through all the rawChildren and do an is
comparison. This is just to get a reference, it sucks.
But, Is possible through that hack, I haven't tried it though.

I ran into the same problem when i wanted to align the label to the

mx_internal namespace.
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,

{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
var labelAlign_str:String = getStyle("labelAlign");
if (labelAlign_str == "left" && label.length)
{
var vm:EdgeMetrics = viewMetricsAndPadding;
var labelObject:UIComponent = mx_internal::labelObject as UIComponent;
labelObject.move(vm.left, labelObject.y);

};
This however does not work for you, since there is no equivalant for the
indicator. However, the indicator is added as a child to rawChildren, which
is public. This means you could reach it without problems.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
