OK. I will send you an email and you can reply me the source files.

yes, I’ve tried to. The “Advanced DataGrid” package comes with 5 classes, and I’ve been unable to locate where I need to set these parameters.

Sure! But before that … if you use a cell renderer then you have to set the Anti-alias inside the cell renderer class to the Label, TextArea or whatever you are using to display your text.

I have the “Advanced DataGrid” that resizes the rows based on content, but I’m unable to get your Anti-alias code to work with it? Can I send you the “Advanced DataGrid” source code for you to look at?

About that you need to look into cellRenderer. I’ve looked over the documentation and it’s nothing for List component only for DataGrid. I’ve tried to use the cell renderer from DataGrid to List, because it should be the same cell but I got some funny results. The cell would not resize.

I will look more intro it and if I get any good results I will post it.

Hi Scuty,

Thank you for looking into this. I don’t know if this helps, but I was able to get the List’s text field to accomodate multiline with the following script added to your code:
“mc[i].cll.wordWrap = true;
mc[i].cll.multiline = true;
mc[i].cll.autoSize = true;”

but I was unable the match Cell’s parameters to the text field!??
and also, on the rollOver reflesh the text field moves up, not to attactive, so this direction might not be apppropriate.?
