I am using a mx:DataGrid component in my flex application. I showing a grid like this:

enter image description here

I want to change the selected Blue color to transparent. I am using following code:

<mx:DataGrid id="dg" dataProvider="{arrDg}" width="100%" height="100%" 
    draggableColumns="false" rowCount="{arrDg.length}" click="dgClickHandler(event)" 
    variableRowHeight="true" resizableColumns="false" sortableColumns="false" 
    selectionColor="#00000000" verticalScrollPolicy="off">

But this is changing the color to black instead of transparent.

Please help.

    Oops, didn’t notice you had 8 zero’s in that color. Flash doesn’t support RGBA (or color values with alpha/transparency).

    If you do not want any highlight at all to be shown on selection, try setting the selectable property of the (mx) DataGrid to false. It seems you have a click handler, turning off selection is likely to prevent your click handler from doing it’s job 🙁

    If you do want some sort of selection indicator, but say, want to modify the alpha (transparency) of the selection color, that style setting does not exist (ie: there is no “selectionAlpha” style). You would have to create a custom data grid class to do that.
