Short answer: yes

Slightly longer answer: yes, see backgroundpattern.

How to do it:

Set the backgroundpattern of the field to the id of an image that is the height of two rows in your list and that, when set, makes your rows have alternating colors.

Drag and Drop the easy way

Omar, is there some reason you're not using the built-in drag and drop that rev 2.9+ offers? It's documented in the User Guide.

a color is not always a color name when tested

Sometimes I've set the forecolor of something to "red" and then when I test it later, it's 255,0,0, not "red".

It's true that Dashcode only runs on Mac OS X. I was a happy Windows XP user a few short years ago and had no intention of switching, but then Chipp Walters made a convincing argument that got me to buy a Mac (they are cheap, btw): You're a cross-platform developer, you should have a Mac! I bought t...

Testy?

Josh, no...not rubbed the wrong way at all. Was in a hurry, tho. Working away here. Hope my comments were helpful, however. I don't believe in emoticons, so some of my thoughts can be misread. It's usually more obvious when i get "testy" or even "testee". (Couldn't resist.)
