[AS3] List selectedItem text color

[camdagr8]

Geezus!!! I've been looking for two days now for a way to change the selectedItem's text color. I can set the text color for all items but not the selected? WHY does adobe thrive on kicking us developers in the nuts with dumb stuff like this?

Here's what I have so far...


import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.text.TextFormat;

var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { dp.addItem({label: 'item ' + i}); }
list.dataProvider = dp;

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = new MyriadPro().fontName;
fmt.color = 0x000000;

list.setRendererStyle('textFormat', fmt);
list.setRendererStyle('embedFonts', true);

All this works perfectly, but does ANYONE know how to make it so that when I select an item in my list it changes the color of the selectedItem to red?

Okay, figured it out, hope this helps anyone else out there trying to do the same:


import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;

var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { dp.addItem({label: 'item ' + i}); }
list.dataProvider = dp;

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = new MyriadPro().fontName;
fmt.color = 0x000099;
fmt.size = 14;

var hfmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
hfmt.font = new MyriadPro().fontName;
hfmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;
hfmt.size = 14;

function setColors() {
StyleManager.setStyle("selectedTextFormat", hfmt);
StyleManager.setStyle("unselectedTextFormat", fmt);
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", fmt);
StyleManager.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
}
function unselectColor():void {
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
var item:Object = list.getItemAt(i);
var cr:CellRenderer = list.itemToCellRenderer(item) as CellRenderer;
cr.setStyle("textFormat", StyleManager.getStyle("unselectedTextFormat"));
}
}

function selectedColor(event:ListEvent):void {
unselectColor();
var cr:CellRenderer = list.itemToCellRenderer(event.item) as CellRenderer;
cr.setStyle("textFormat",StyleManager.getStyle("selectedTextFormat"));
}

setColors();
list.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_DOUBLE_CLICK, selectedColor);
