Binding is not allowed to style property "backgroundImage". In fact, you can't use binding for any "styleName" attribute. I don't know why I'm struggling with this so much. Even if I have a simple label like so: <mx:Label id="tst" text="My text" styleName="myStyleClass"/>
I can't change the color of it issuing the call: mx.styles.StyleManager.styles.myStyleClass.color="#000000"; It simply always stays to the original style as declared in the css. --- In [email protected], "Stacey Mulcahy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Are any of the images showing up as there are no embed calls. ? > > > > What about just setting the styles in a css file externally and changing the > styleName on the fly by binding the bgimage to a variable? > > > > > > > > Someone can correct me here, but isn't setStyles one of the most intensive > processes due to the notifications to each item.
