Oh please don't. I've been working with Flex 2 for only two months now,
but I get so annoyed with styles. For example, I'm coding along in AS3
and I want to change the appearance of something. I can't just hit "."
and shuffle around looking for the property I want to change. No, I have
to throw down a "setStyle(", run to the website documentation, find the
class, scroll down to styles, and then shuffle around for the "property"
name I want to change. Then go back type that it, and remember I forgot
what type of data this property is expecting, go back to the website and
look that up again. All I can say is, thank goodness we don't have to
set every property that way:
this.setProperty("width", 100);
