CSS for a DataGrid

programming flash
1

I’m attempting to control text color of datagrid cells using a CSS file and I think I just hit a dead end.

I’ve extended the CellRenderer with

dgGrid.setStyle("cellRenderer", CustomRenderer);

Within the CustomRenderer class, I set a stylesheet to the cell’s text field with

this.textField.styleSheet = cssSheet;

And upon running the code, I get this error:

Error: Error #2009: This method cannot be used on a text field with a style sheet.
at flash.text::TextField/setTextFormat()

It’s referring to the cell’s text field. I am not applying a text format to the text field, so I can only assume this is some automatic thing that the DataGrid does.

Anyone know a way around this?
