Say if I wanted a string as the label but different colors for different words in the label

like in black Goals: then if they are met have green text beside that or not met red text

Any idea how we can do this?

I try to add a background image to headers but it doesn’t work… why please ?

I’ve never used AJAX/jQuery/”prettyphoto”, but you could try using the ExternalInterface class to call some JavaScript from your Flex app. I think I had a comment/complaint earlier in my blog though about that approach not always working with AJAX though. But it may depend on your specific AJAX framework/implementation/code.

Apart from that, you may be able to create your own similar photo library in Flex using ActionScript 3.0 and the PopUpManager, and a custom Panel and other stuff.

You’d probably have better luck asking on a high volume mailing list like flexcoders and see what other people are using.

I’d do something like the example above, except set the skin style to an embedded image instead of the color style.
Something similar to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
 
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            [Embed("flash_player_10_appicon-tn.gif")]
            private static const flPlIcon:Class;
 
            [Embed("fx_appicon-tn.gif")]
            private static const fxIcon:Class;
 
            private function init():void {
                acc.getHeaderAt(0).setStyle("skin", flPlIcon);
                acc.getHeaderAt(1).setStyle("skin", fxIcon);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
 
    <mx:Accordion id="acc" headerHeight="20" width="400" height="300" creationComplete="init();">
        <mx:VBox label="Flash Player" width="100%" height="100%">
            <mx:Label text="Adobe Flash Player 10" />
        </mx:VBox>
        <mx:VBox label="Flex" width="100%" height="100%">
            <mx:Label text="Adobe Flex" />
        </mx:VBox>
    </mx:Accordion>
 
</mx:Application>
