So the answer is pretty much what I expected. You can't assume when your class will be initialized. It appears in this case that binding and maybe the repeater causes your class to initialize and run its classConstruct before the app applies its styles.
A style declaration has 'layers', a default factory picked up from the default.css file, a factory picked up from styles defined in mx:Styles and overrides which are applied via setStyle at runtime. The mx:Styles get applied 'underneath' the overrides layer because your code used setStyle. By using Ben's technique of defining the default factory, the mx:Styles get to override those. I'm not happy having to recommend a pattern where users have to define anonymous functions to set default styles, but it does appear to be the most tolerant of class init order. I will recommend to the doc team to modify the examples accordingly. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 2:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Setting multiple custom styles On Tuesday 06 Nov 2007, Alex Harui wrote: > I've marked this thread for further investigation someday (probably not > this week), but I wouldn't be surprised if the classConstruct runs > before the Style block is installed, and I think the Style block code > won't replace one that is already there. Hmm, well that would be odd, as the docs work (though Ben identifies some problems with them further on in this thread.
