In an MXML component, one that does not contain the mx:Application tag, you cannot define a type selector, only a class selector.

Which version of Flex you are using? You can see into flex docs under section "Using Styles and Fonts": http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/00000532.htm ##StyleTagExample.mxml## <mx:Application width="800" height="600" xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Style> LinkBar { color:#000000; border-style:solid; background-color:#0000FF; textRollOverColor:#FF0000; } .myStyle { color:#FF0000; font-family:Georgia; } </mx:Style> <mx:LinkBar click="getURL('http://www.macromedia.com/' + String(event.label).toLowerCase(), '_blank');" > <mx:dataProvider> <mx:Array> <mx:String>Flash</mx:String> <mx:String>Director</mx:String> <mx:String>Dreamweaver</mx:String> <mx:String>ColdFusion</mx:String> </mx:Array> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:LinkBar> <mx:Button label="aButton" styleName="myStyle" /> </mx:Application> Hope that helps.. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cnewroth55 Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 11:20 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] using the Style control tag not sure if anyone else knows this, but I tried to use the <mx:Style> tag to set a style in one of my components, and when I did i got an error that said "CSS type selectors are not supported in components", here is what I had: <mx:Style> LinkBar {some style stuf } </mx:Style> however this is wrong and the error message was kind of misleading, based on it i thought that i could NOT use the tag/style in a component; but when I changed it to this; <mx:Style> myLinkBar.LinkBar {some style stuff } </mx:Style> noticed i added a ID to the LinkBar style it worked just fine...just thought someone might what to know...
