But if you do MyApp.mxml: <mx:BetterApplication> <mx:Style> ... </mx:Style> </mx:BetterApplication> do you get a compilation error because the compiler thinks that BetterApplication is a component and components can't have <mx:Style>? - Gordon

Is it possible that the compiler is being overly picky, and only allows literally <mx:Application> as the root element, and not some class dervived from mx:Application? I know in the past that Flex made mx:Application "more equal" than other classes, such that the debugger wouldnt' recognize subclasses of it as being legitimate top level application classes. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Gordon Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Is there some salient difference between inline inclusion vs. external > definitions? > > No. Writing <mx:Style source="..."/> should be the same as putting the > contents of the CSS file between <mx:Style> and </mx:Style>. > > Are you sure you have <mx:Style> only in <mx:Application> and not in any > of the components that your application is using? > > - Gordon > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of sbyrne_dorado > Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 8:43 PM > To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: CSS type selectors are not supported in > components > > > > I'm getting this error message from within an mx:Application (well a > subclass thereof) that includes things via <mx:Style source="..."/>. > Is there some salient difference between inline inclusion vs. external > definitions?
