In general your best bet for documentation on the Flash components, is the Flash documentation (I know, flog away on how we really should have them covered well in our docs as I cannot argue that - but you asked where the best place to look is and so I'm offering up what I think is the best place). Specifically you can check the posted LiveDocs copies of their help and through that get a better idea about the properties and methods each exposes, plus more details on how to use each. For example, in order to see more style-related information for the List component in particular have a look at this Flash LiveDocs page: <http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhe lp.htm?href=Part2_Using.html> Note: watch for line-wrapping. At the above URL you will see a list of List component style properties, all of which should be exposed to setting using the setStyles() method in Director (Flash sprite method). Be aware though that you'll need to feed in the correct/expected data type, in setting colors the component expects a hex color value (0xRRGGBB) or an integer color value. Being as the hex color values aren't supported in Director you'll need to convert your color to an integer first: tColorInt = (red*65536) + (green*256) + blue Where the red, green and blue values are traditional 0-255 color values like you would use in Director's own color() or rgb() functions.
