Multiple stylenames is on the schedule for the next major release. I would worry about it hiccupping at the transition because an inheriting style recalc is not fast.
Best performance would probably be achieved by having a minimum set of setStyle calls on the component, and removing or restoring those styles later. I think we know you just twiddled the end of the inheritance chain and don't recalc the whole parent chain. You could also override our style chain handling, but that's mx_internal and I'm considering changing it someday. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh McDonald Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: (bump) Re: [flexcoders] styling Flex - able to use multiple stylenames - styleName="styleA styleB" ? *Bump* Is there a good answer to this? I want to be able to generically add a "dragover" second stylename to a component, and remove it on drag-out without having to duplicated every stylename that can be dragged over (and also having nearly every style attribute listed twice, in .someComponent and .someComponent_over)... I suppose I could hook into the stylesheet mechanism at runtime and generate the second _over stylesheet?
