There is a section on the use of hyphens in style properties in the doc
in the styles chapter. I will copy and paste it here for your reference
since the Beta 2 livedocs are not up yet:
-----------------------------------------------------
About property and selector names
For CSS properties, the convention is to use a hyphen for the style
property. In style definitions, you can use either the ActionScript
property name or the CSS property names, as the following example shows:
.myclass { fontStyle: italic } /* Valid property name */
.myclass { font-style: italic } /* Valid property name */
Button { fontSize: 14 } /* Valid property name */
Button { font-size: 14 } /* Valid property name */
In an MXML tag, you must use the camel-case version of the style
property; for example:
<mx:Button label="click me" fontSize="24" fontStyle="italic"/>
For the style name itself, you cannot use a hyphenated name, as the
following example shows:
.myClass { ... } /* Valid style name */
.my-class { ... } /* Not a valid style name */
-----------------------------------------------------
I admit that the wording is pretty poor, and I'll revisit that section.
Additionally, the docs have been inconsistent in the use of hyphens or
camel-case and I'll try and address that before final release.
Hth.
