I didn't run your code yet.
Are you saying that if you don't have classConstruct you don't get styles? When classConstruct gets run is sort of black magic. It could in fact run before the style block styles are installed. Either way, styleName (class selectors) always overrides type selectors ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 3:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Setting multiple custom styles I'm trying to add a set of custom styles to a component, following the patten in the developers guide, unfortunately it only seems to work if I use a styleName to set the new styles - trying to set them as defaults for the class doesn't. Take the attached two files, drop them in a directory and compile them. I've tried 2.0.1 hf 1, h3 and 3 beta 2 all with the same result: The first <TestStyleComponent> gets the defaults hard coded into it in classConstruct() rather than those given in the TestStyleComponent style. The second <TestStyleComponent> correctly gets the styles from the .foo style, however. Can anyone see why the first one doesn't work ?
