I've given that a go and it works ! ! *W* *T* *F*. The two methods should be equivalent. I'll comment the livedocs URL too and include this thread. Cheers for that. You must grab me at a Flex or ColdFusion conference and let me buy you a beer* :-) Here is the fixed version of classConstruct to go into the sample code from the OP: private static function classConstruct():Boolean { // If there is no CSS definition for our style, // then create one and set the default value. if (!StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent")) { /*breaks var newStyleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("dayNamesFontSize", 12); newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("dayNamesFontColor", 0x000000); newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("fooBackGround", 0xffffff); StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent", newStyleDeclaration, true);*/ /* works */ var cursorStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration(); cursorStyle.defaultFactory = function():void { this.dayNamesFontSize = 12; this.dayNamesFontColor = 0x000000; this.fooBackGround = 0xffffff; } StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent", cursorStyle, true); } return true; } -- Tom Chiverton Helping to professionally reintermediate industry-wide features on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
