It would appear the link I gave is broken. But nevermind, I have
found the solution by delving through the framework source code, where
the developers do it differently from what is documented in the Live Docs.
The solution is to use something along the lines of:
private static var stylesInitialised:Boolean = initStyles();
private static function initStyles():Boolean {
var sd:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("AreaZoom");
if (!sd)
{
sd = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("AreaZoom", sd, false);
}
sd.defaultFactory = function():void
{
this.borderColour = 0x017C98;
this.borderAlpha = 1;
this.fillColour = 0x96CEFD;
this.fillAlpha = 0.2;
}
return true;
}
