DataGrid with Tranparent Background

hi there, i’ve recently been trying to skin the dataGrid Component. I was wondering if someone know how to have a transparency background?

Some forums says that myDataGrid.[COLOR=blue]setStyle[/COLOR][COLOR=seagreen]COLOR=black; work fine! :frowning: But it is probably for FlashMX, 'cause it won’t work for Flash 8!

If anyone could come up with a solution that would be much appreciated!!!
