- Copy DataGrid.as into the same directory as the FLA and modify it there, this will take precedence over the other classpath.

- Subclass DataGrid like so:

class SolidDataGrid extends mx.controls.DataGrid {

function drawHeaderBG() {

// Edited code here

}

}

And change the class linkage for the DataGrid component you dragged into your library from StandardComponents.fla so that it uses your custom class and is called SolidDataGrid.

This way you don’t break the functionality of the standard component. Hope that helps!

Open the StandardComponents.fla (preferrably as a Shared Libriary: File -> Import -> Open Shared Library) and drag the dataGrid component from that library to your own fla's stage. I hope that helps.

But I can't make it work. What do I have to do exactly when you say "open fla and add it from there."? drag it from StandardComponents.fla's library(if correct fla)on my new blank file?<br /> Help would be great...<br /> thnx in advance,<br /> Lester.

Do you know if there’s a way of changing the selection color (that green is really lame)
