Matt, please read my previous reply before revising the documentation. Camelcase is best practice.

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. Matthew J.
