Components styling: guru needed

I think I need some help in explaining styling components, or otherwise the Flash documentation is just plain wrong :frowning:

What I’m trying to do is style the checkbox component.
More specifically I want to change the color of the checkbox.
According to the docs I could do it like this:


my_cb.style.setStyle("symbolColor", 0xff0000);

But…it’s a no go. :frowning:

Any ideas?
