Hi guys and gals - flash cs3 here I cant change the compnonent lists font values - in particular the font color...

I can use this and it works fine

Code:
playList.setStyle("contentPadding", 50);
but this has no effect?!?!

Code:
playList.setStyle("color", "red");
I have looked through the help section which isnt very helpful and have googled around and there isnt much so that makes me think I am missing something.

Does anyone have a list of styles that can be changed in a list? or a reference to them?

thanks in advance for any help you can give to this problem
