"Best practice" in Flex apps is to use fooBarIck, because this works in both CSS and in ActionScript.
But if you have an old HTML CSS file that uses foo-bar-ick, our CSS parser -- but no other code in Flex -- will convert it to fooBarIck. This is a convenience conversion for CSS compatibility. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Gonzalez Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 11:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: 2.0B1 - Use of CSS style sheet with DataGridColumn styleName I can't speak to why your particular style isn't being set, but we accept both style name variants as equivilent, because "foo-bar-ick" gets internally converted to "fooBarIck" in order to map to AS identifiers (hyphens obviously don't work in identifiers). -rg > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of thunderstumpgesatwork > Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 10:28 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: 2.0B1 - Use of CSS style sheet with > DataGridColumn styleName > > OK, this is just terrible... the documentation in the guide for "Using > the StyleManager" here: > http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/20beta1/docs/00001019.html#171182 > > is terribly inconsistent about what text to use to reference the > styles.
