Setting the format for a userlist component

[fruitbeard]

Hi Cap,

OK, drag a list component on to the stage and call it "listBox"

then use this code and mess around with it

listBox.setStyle("backgroundColor","0xEAEAEA");
listBox.setStyle("fontFamily","Arial");
listBox.setStyle("fontSize",20);
listBox.setStyle("rollOverColor","0xDDDDDD");
listBox.setStyle("selectionColor","0xAAAAAA");
listBox.setStyle("textSelectedColor","0xFFFFFF");
listBox.setStyle("textRollOverColor","0xFFFFFF");
listBox.setStyle("selectionDuration",0);
listBox.setStyle("borderStyle","solid");
listBox.setStyle("borderColor","0x999999");
listBox.setStyle("themeColor","0x999999");
listBox.rowHeight = 30;
listBox.rowCount = 5;

var array:Array = new Array("Aardvark", "Buzzard", "Caterpillar", "Duck", "Elephant", "Frog", "Giraffe");

for (var n:Number = 0; n < array.length; n++)
{
    listBox.addItem({label:array[n], data:array[n]});
} 

There are other bits you can stylise if you look around the web too.

Not sure why your other problem is happening
