- tribal knowledge Well considering I have been making flex components for 3 years now, I would say it's just some experience with the framework.
Search back in the archives of the flexcomponents list for this topic and you will see threads in there of me banging my head on the same issue. I think formats are for more future implementation, I couldn't really give you a cold hard answer on that. As far as inheriting, the inheritance happens when the style proto chains are created in UIComponent when a component is created or a styleName changes. The algorithm then separates out what is inheriting and what is not. Inheriting styles mean that if an instance has a styleName parent (IE UIComponet), if the style is not defined on the target component, the style is then searched by parent and type selectors. Remember all this happens in initProtoChain(). There is no runtime searching, that would be a HUGE processor hit. Look in the UIComponent.inheritingStyles object and UIComponent.nonInheritingStyles to see what is deemed inheriting. Anyway, probably confused you, I think I confused myself. ;-) Mike On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 2:35 PM, bryancostanich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > gotcha, thanks again for the info. i feel like so much of this is > tribal knowledge. > > is there a reference for the tags in the style declaration? e.g. > format="Color", inherit="yes", etc? i'd love to know what all the > formats are, what inherit REALLY means, etc. > -- Teoti Graphix, LLC http://www.teotigraphix.com Teoti Graphix Blog http://www.blog.teotigraphix.com You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
