Hello,

Is it possible to change the background color of AS3 Color Picker component using AS3? It is always black behind the swatches and I would prefer it be white but even after alternating the skins in the library it always appears black.

For example, I would like the swatch to initially be a circle which I have done and have it open to a grid of circular swatches. I have done this but an overpowering black box always appears below.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
