I'm not sure. My app tag now looks like this:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="horizontal" creationComplete="init()" backgroundColor="0xcccccc"> and I see the colour as I was trying previously with: if (backgroundColour != "") { application.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0x" + backgroundColour); } Where backgroundColour is set with a flashvar. I wonder what would happen if you tested the same example using a flashvar. I wouldn't expect any difference but might be worth seeing?
