Hey guys,

Came across yet another obstacle today and was wondering. How would i permanently highlight specific items stored within a list box (flash component) if, say an error occured. Moreover, how would i highlight them **[COLOR=Red]red [/COLOR]**[COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]instead of green?[/COLOR][/COLOR]
