Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a ColorPicker with a non-websafe selectedColor; i.e.: <mx:ColorPicker selectedColor="0xF15654" />
2. Try to select the first color (the black in top left corner)

Actual Results:
That color cannot be selected.

Expected Results:
The color should be selectable

Workaround (if any):
The problem is that the selectedIndex of the ColorPicker is 0 by default and the selectColor method doesn't change it to -1 when a non-websafe color (such that is not in dataProvider) is set.

We can extend the ColorPicker and override selectedIndex getter (unfortunately we cannot set the actual selectedIndex value to -1 as we cannot overide private properties):

override public function get selectedIndex():int {
if (super.selectedIndex == 0 && selectedColor!=0x000000)

{ //no need to search for a proper index of the color - the dropDown will do that itself based on selectedColor return -1; }

else

{ return super.selectedIndex; }

}
