You need to create the CSSStyleDeclaration only once. var css:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); css.setStyle("borderColor", 0x316AC5); css.setStyle("tileAlphas", [1,1]); css.setStyle("borderColor", 0x316AC5); css.setStyle("borderAlpha", 1.0); css.setStyle("fillColor", 0x316AC5); css.setStyle("fillAlpha", 0.5); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("DragSelection", css, true); regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Ingram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Best way to set styles in actionscript? OK, that doesn't work. What's wrong with my code? private static var m_staticInitialised:Boolean = DragSelection.staticConstructor(); private static function staticConstructor():Boolean { if (!StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("DragSelection")) { // If there is no CSS definition for DragSelection, // then create one and set the default value. var borderColorStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); borderColorStyle.setStyle("borderColor", 0x316AC5); var borderAlphaStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); borderAlphaStyle.setStyle("borderAlpha", 1.0); var fillColorStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); fillColorStyle.setStyle("fillColor", 0x316AC5); var fillAlphaStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); fillAlphaStyle.setStyle("fillAlpha", 0.5); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("DragSelection", borderColorStyle, true); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("DragSelection", borderAlphaStyle, true); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("DragSelection", fillColorStyle, true); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("DragSelection", fillAlphaStyle, true); } return true; } The values that come out during updateDisplayList are: borderColor: 0xb7babc (grey) borderAlpha: 1 fillColor: 0xffffff (white) fillAlpha: 0.5 It seems the border and fill colours are being overwritten somewhere (the parent background is white)! I checked in styleChanged function, but the "styleProp" value just came through as null every time!
