It makes sense to ignore CSS errors when a CSS file is first parsed at
runtime. You want a "best effort" rendering of the CSS.
Web pages aren't required to be compiled and typechecked before they're
put on the server. If they were, you would in fact want to catch the
error at authoring time.
Basically, it doesn't make any sense for a compiler to ignore CSS
errors, particularly since in Flex they result in code generation.
If we moved to runtime parsed CSS where the compiler never sees it, I'd
expect that should do the "best effort" approach, though.

Peter, isn't that a bug in the Flex compiler?
CSS specification is pretty clear that bad rules should be
ignored. Compilation errors are an inherent flaw in the Flex compiler if
they are generated by CSS rules, especially if those rules include
specific binary font requirements.

Peter,
Yeah I saw that. Just so you guys know, MyriadWebPro. ttf and
MyriadWebPro- Bold.ttf isn't included in the download, so it won't
compile until you go get the files off your server or remove the
reference from the css.
thanks again,
B..

Eh, personal preference I guess. Personally, I didn't care for
all the visual clutter that a million color wheels added.
The good news, however, is that the source code is available to
you with view source (from the online version at http://examples.
adobe.com/ flex2/consulting /styleexplorer/ Flex2StyleExplor er.html),
<http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExpl
orer.html),> and you can go into the colorPicker components
(components/ colorPicker, components/doubleCo lorPicker, and
components/quadColo rPicker) and change the visibilty of the images to
be always visible and recompile for your very own version where color
wheels are always visible.

Peter,
The new style explorer's great, but man you guys are
killing me with the roll over to show the advanced color picker. Makes
the whole thing look buggy IMHO, can you just show them all the time?
Brian..
