I'm receiving a very peculiar error. I've boiled it down to a simple reproducible test. Given the following two files:
GenericTest.mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private var test:TestStyle; ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> TestStyle.as: package { import mx.core.UIComponent; [Style(name="color", type="uint", format="Color", inherit="no")] public class TestStyle extends UIComponent { } } I get the following error trying to compile, ever after cleaning the project: Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id Declaration of style 'color' conflicts with previous declaration in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/core/Container). GenericTest Unknown 1231521859674 29620 First, I'm pretty sure the claim that it's Container causing the problem is wrong, as TestStyle is a subclass of UIComponent, not a subclass of Container. In the help for UIComponent, there is no color style or property listed. Plus if you make it inherit from other things like Object, DisplayObject, Sprite, etc., the error changes to different files, including saying the file conflicts with itself (Declaration of style 'color' conflicts with previous declaration in C:\dev\GenericTest\src\TestStyle.as); If I change it to inherit="yes", it does not have a problem with it. My best guess is that there's something hidden and undocumented. Doing a search on all the SDK code found no declaration for it. If I take out my Style declaration and call getStyle("color") on a newly created TestStyle object, I get 0x0B333C. So it's getting set somewhere. Anyone want to offer their two cents? I'm considering filing a bug report but I don't know exactly if this should be considered a bug (well, definitely a bug in the compiler error text) or poor documentation or what. -- Jason
