[AS3] Making a Combat Log

[Ciubhran]

Just wanted to check around how people would make one of these.

Right now I use a List, but it is really ugly, even though it grants me the necessary functions to push() the most recent combat event.

There are two questions:

1. How do I customize the entities in a List? Like changing background color, padding, borders etc.

2. If not using a List, how would you create a combat log?

for starters, i would forget about the components, and instead use an mc, and structure it as i need!There is no rules set in stone about flash, but its better to make your own stuff rather than use builtin components to get more control!

Just get a mc, put some background graphics, add a dynamic textfield, and then add a "mask" to enable scrolling!
