Some MXML attributes specify properties, some specify styles, some
specify event handler bodies, and some specify effects. (And some, like
'id', get special handling.)
The programmatic way to set a property is
component.foo = bar;
The programmatic way to set a style or effect is
component.setStyle("foo", "bar");
The programmatic way to set an event handler is
component.addEventListener("foo", bar);

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] setting mxml attributes in actionscript when
those properties don't exist
Well, I solved the problem by using
adgc.setStyle("headerStyleName","someStyle"); - however I'm still
confused as to how there are attributes you can specify in mxml that
can't be set programmatically.
I've encountered this elsewhere also - is it just a styles thing?

Subject: [flexcoders] setting mxml attributes in actionscript when those
properties don't exist
For example, I'm wanting to set the headerStyleName on an
AdvancedDataGridColumn... which you can do with mxml:
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerStyleName="someStyle"/>
However, when I try to do it with actionscript:
var adgc:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();
adgc.headerStyleName = "someStyle";
I get the error that headerStyleName is not defined on
AdvancedDataGridColumn.
Huh?
Whats going on here, and how can I set it programmatically?
Thanks,
Seth
