I seems you've been mislead Carlos. Components like HBox and VBox are invisible by default, but styles like backgroundColor do work. Hank's suggestion about using nesting works well (see example), but has implications for performance if it is used on a large number of components. Example code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"> <mx:Style> Application{ backgroundColor:white; color:black; } .boxStyle1{ borderStyle:"solid"; borderThickness:5; borderColor:blue; borderSides:bottom, left; } .boxStyle2{ borderStyle:"solid"; borderThickness:10; borderColor:green; borderSides:top, right; } </mx:Style> <mx:VBox id="box" styleName="boxStyle1" height="50" width="150"> <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" styleName="boxStyle2"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:Application> --- In [email protected], "Carlos Rovira" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hank, > > In general visual containers can be styled, but we are talking about Layout > Containers (HBox, VBox,...), and I remember read a few days ago that these > invisible components can't be styled. > > On 7/4/06, hank williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Containers can definitely be styled, but I am not sure that you can > > assign a different color to different sides.
