Hello,

I’ve got a custom component with a spark text input in it (s:TextInput) I have it styled via css and one of the properties is:

\*\*contentBackgroundColor \*\*(This is a spark specific style according to the docs)

I’m trying to use this component inside an advanced data grid (mx:AdvancedDataGrid) via an advanced data grid item renderer (s:MXAdvancedDataGridItemRenderer).

The issue is that all the properties of the style I’m using are working fine except for **contentBackgroundColor**. Everything works fine no matter where I use this component _except for when I use it in this renderer_. I’ve tried adding the normal backgroundColor style that is used in the mx version but that doesn’t seem to work either.

Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.
