Actually having dug a bit deeper and got to the point of building swc's I have found that if you include a .css file in the swc it will automatically be included in the users application.
So create a "default.css" with the style for your components and compile it into the swc in the include files and when the library is added to a project the style will get into the user application. So in theory no need for the static initializer to set default style. --- In [email protected], "Michael Schmalle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > They don't use the defaults static initializer because the compiler is > hardwired to include the defaults.css sheet at compile time. > > If you did not include that css file every flex component would bomb and not > work at all. > > Unless you will rely on your end user adding your css defaults EVERY TIME > they make an app with your component, use the static initializer. > > If you notice, ALL charts use them(static initializers).
