<mx:Application marginLeft=”0” marginTop=”0” marginRight=”0” marginBottom=”0”>
<mx:VBox width=”100%” height=”100%” id=”myBackground”>
<mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
With setStyle calls pointing to the VBox, not the application. (e.g. myBackground.setStyle(‘backgroundColor’, 0xFF0000); )
Sorry for being so sneaky.

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.
