\*\*Hi guys, I need some help with something, PLEASE

I want to change only a specific item in a list component.  
I have my list build:\*\*

mylist.addItem({label:“project\_01”, project:“projects/projects/project\_01.swf”, preview:“project\_01.jpg”, data:“001”});

mylist.addItem({label:“project\_02”, project:“projects/projects/project\_02.swf”, preview:“project\_02.jpg”, data:“002”});

mylist.addItem({label:“project\_03”, project:“projects/projects/project\_03.swf”, preview:“project\_03.jpg”, data:“003”});

\*\*and so on…

I would like to know how can I make reference to the number of the “data” in the code bellow to change the background and the color of the text, for example, of the _ **data:"001"** _  
\*\*

mylist.setStyle(“backgroundColor”,0xFFFFFF);  
mylist.setStyle(“selectionColor”,0xFFFFFF);

\*\*Please, I need some help on this,  
Thanks \*\*
