Hello all,

For some reason my employer really doesn’t want us to switch to AS3. So here I am.

Anyway, I have a List Component that I’m importing some XML text into. I have no problem importing the XML, but I have not been able to apply CSS to this text successfully. Earlier in the day I applied CSS to a dynamic text field and had no problem. The scrolling and selection function just as I want them to. The only problem is the CSS.

I’ve done quite a bit of searching, trial and error, etc. and have not been able to find a solution to this problem. Does anyone know how to do this? Or if it’s even possible?

As always, thanks so much for reading this!
