RE: [flexcoders] StyleManager

[Gordon Smith]

When a Flex app starts up, the StyleManager already has a set of selectors, such as for ApplicationControlBar and ComboBox. They have default settings for all the styles that the components expect to be set. If a style is unset, you can get RTEs or other misbehavior.   In general, you should be fetching these pre-existing selectors with StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration()  and modifying them with setStyle(). If instead you create a brand new CSSStyleDeclaration, you would have to set all the expected styles, and I'm not sure we do a good job of documenting what those are.   So to solve your second problem, try changing      var comboBoxDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();   to      var comboBoxDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ComboBox");   The first problem is probably similar, but I can't be sure because you don't show where applicationControlBarDeclaration came from.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of phildouglas Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 7:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] StyleManager   Hey all. I'm having problems with setting styles progrmatically. When I do the following: applicationControlBarDeclaration.setStyle("fillAlphas", [1,1]); applicationControlBarDeclaration.setStyle("fillColors", [0xFF0000,0xFF0000]); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration('ApplicationControlBar',applicationControlBarDeclaration,true) the ApplicationControlBar at the top of my app is invisible. even if I only set the alphas to 1,1 it still hides the ApplicationControlBar as if I'm setting the alphas to 0,0. Also if i use the following to style a ComboBox: var comboBoxDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration() comboBoxDeclaration.setStyle("selectionColor", gradientColour0); comboBoxDeclaration.setStyle("rollOverColor", gradientColour0); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration('ComboBox',comboBoxDeclaration,true) Then I get loads of debug errors, and my app crashes. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing these problems. (although the ApplicationControlBar one is more of a priority). Thanks.
