(It's a Flex bug.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Robson Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 7:17 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: [Flashcoders] Bug in Runtime Style Declarations When setting the fill colors for a component class at runtime, Flex breaks. It's possible to set the fill colors for an instance, but not for a class. Take a look at the code below. The first function, setInstanceStyle, works fine. The second function, setClassStyle, causes the MenuBar to disappear and the buttons to stop working. It's possible to change other styles using the same method as is used in setClassStyle. For example, I can change background color, border color, and text styles using the same methodology as is used in setClassStyle. But when I try to set fillColors using that method, the component disappears and the program hangs. As far as I can tell, this is a bug. I haven't found any other mention of it, though. Does anyone have any more info on this? Am I missing something? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:XML id="mainMenuData" format="e4x" source="mainMenu.xml" /> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.styles.*; private var menuBarStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration("menuBarStyle"); private function setInstanceStyle(event:MouseEvent):void{ mainMenu.setStyle('fillColors',[0xFFFFCC,0xFFFFCC]); } private function setClassStyle(event:MouseEvent):void{ menuBarStyle.setStyle('fillColors',[0xFFFFCC,0xFFFFCC]); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration('MenuBar',menuBarStyle,true); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:MenuBar id="mainMenu" dataProvider="{mainMenuData.menuitem}" labelField="@label" width="100%" /> <mx:Button id="instanceButton" label="Set Instance Style" click="setInstanceStyle(event);" x="20" y="40" /> <mx:Button id="classButton" label="Set Class Style" click="setClassStyle(event);" x="180" y="40" /> </mx:Application> <!-- Here's the xml used for the menu (mainMenu.xml) --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root> <menuitem label="File"> <menuitem label="New" /> <menuitem label="Open" /> <menuitem label="Exit" /> </menuitem> <menuitem label="View"> <menuitem label="Toolbars" /> <menuitem label="Source" /> </menuitem> <menuitem label="Help"> <menuitem label="Online Help" /> <menuitem label="About Style Test" /> </menuitem> </root> _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
