Re: [flexcomponents] Creatng a component (overridng Panel) and setting default properties - problem

[Michael Schmalle]

// CSS file bundled with your component

Manish,

This goes back to an original question I had at the 'beginning'.

When you say bundled, what is the correct way to get that 'default'(IE selector with the class name) css file to be compiled with your swc? Using a library project does not seem to work correctly.

Is the .css file supposed to be named anything? Have you had any experience with a Library Project?

Any thoughts?

Peace, Mike

setStyle() is for users of your component. Never call setStyle() on
yourself, unless you don't want the following to work:

.myStyle {
dropShadowEnabled: true;
}

<BobComponent styleName="myStyle" />

In this case, if you've called setStyle() on yourself, the user's
setting will not be honoured (because setStyle() has higher
precedence).

The right way to set a default style is using a type selector:

// CSS file bundled with your component
BobComponent {

dropShadowEnabled: false;
}

Try calling trace() to see if your method's being called. If you have
trace() disabled, just throw an exception.

throw new Error(); // just to check if this actually gets thrown
