Alex's email clearly said "IStyleClient" with a capital "I" in front. You'll
also need to import it at the top of your file if FlexBuilder doesn't do it
for you: "import mx.styles.IStyleClient".
Since getChildAt returns a generic DisplayObject, you have to cast it to a
more specific type to be able to call "setStyle". If none of this makes
sense to you, you probably need to do some reading up on the object-oriented
programming concept called polymorphism.
