I think I understand your question. Try throwing this in your component
(outside of any methods/properties) and tweaking for your needs:
// Default styles
//////////////////////////////
private static var classConstructed:Boolean = classConstruct();
/**
* @private
* Creates default styles that can be overridden by the developer.
*/
private static function classConstruct():Boolean {
var styleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration('Cursor');
if (!styleDeclaration) {
styleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
}
styleDeclaration.defaultFactory = function():void {
this.color = 0xFF0000;
}
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration('Cursor', styleDeclaration,
false);
return true;
}
Note that "Cursor" is the component's name. This way of setting a default
style personally seems rather unorthodox but it's the only way I've seen
that works. I hope a better/developer-friendly approach is offered in
future versions of Flex.
