ASTRA DropDownColorPicker
DropDownColorPicker is a user interface component for Flex that allows the user to pick a color value. Similar to the standard Flex ColorPicker control, the DropDownColorPicker also gives the developer the ability to completely change the dropdown control to give the user a variety of color views.
Getting Started: DropDownColorPicker for Flex 3
Similar to other Flex components, you can create a DropDownColorPicker by creating an instance with MXML or by using ActionScript to create an instance dynamically.
Initializing an DropDownColorPicker with MXML
Similar to other Flex components, you can create an DropDownColorPicker with MXML. First, you must import the yahoo namespace for the Astra Flex controls. Simply add xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahoo.com/astra/2006/mxml" to your application or MXML component declaration.
To programmatically set the color of the DropDownColorPicker control, use the selectedColor property. It accepts a standard ActionScript uint color value.
To see a live example, please install Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher.

Initializing an DropDownColorPicker with ActionScript
Alternatively, you can use ActionScript to instantiate an DropDownColorPicker control. Be sure the import the DropDownColorPicker class first, then simply create an instance and add it to the display list using addChild().
Like in MXML, you can set the selectedColor property using a uint value.
