Advanced Data Grid - alternate row colors.

Recently i have been working to create a Flex theme and wanted to change the alternating row colors for a Advanced Data Grid.
It took some time for me to figure out the correct style that can be used to change these colors.

Hope some one will save some time with this post.

So here it is ..
The style that is used to define the alternating colors in a Advanced Data Grid is ...

mx|AdvancedDataGrid
{
alternating-item-colors: #E8FDD5, #FFFFFF;
}
