Changing Label text color based on some conditions

Question

Hi,
I have these labels and I would like to change the text color IF the text has some specific value (coming from an XML created by a program); for example the default text color is red, but if the text value is "Yes", the text color should be green.
Any helps much appreciatted, as usual...
Thanks.

unsure, but you might be able to get away with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public function changeColor(value:String):uint
                if(value == "Yes")
                    return 0x007F00;
                else
                    return 0x7F0000;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Panel x="343" y="199" width="250" height="200" layout="absolute">
        <mx:Label id="lbl1" text="Yes" color="{changeColor(lbl1.text)}" x="102.5" y="10"/>
        <mx:Label id="lbl2" text="BlahhhhhBlahhhh" color="{changeColor(lbl2.text)}" x="97" y="36"/>
        <mx:Label id="lbl3" text="Exampleeeeeeee"  color="{changeColor(lbl3.text)}" x="97" y="62"/>
    </mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
using a single label in an item renderer, passing across the 'data.text' value
