Hey all, Perhaps somebody could give me a little insight (since adobe isn’t being helpful)…  
Back in the day in AS2 you could stylize the item roll over color like so :

```auto
myList.setStyle("rollOverColor","0xDDDDDD");

```

So now, I’m trying to do this with AS3, and I get no results AND no errors/warnings…  
I’ve tried setStyle, and setRendererStyle and neither work … I’ve also looked on livedocs & the help files and couldn’t find any information on how to do anything except change the textFormat … Could anybody please help me before I start ripping out my hair…
