Well, it can't be a player bug if it happens with UITextField and not 
TextField, right? Maybe you mean that UITextField exposes a latent 
player bug.

It's an odd one, I'm just very curious.

Here's an isolated case where it's pretty clear:
http://www.therichardsonnyc.com/images/ss.png

I doubt there's a solution to this, that's why I initially asked a 
different question. 

I'm going to just use TextField instead of the flex components.

 Subject: [flexcoders] Regular TextField styling.


 The UITextFields that are used in Flex Text components have 
some
 rendering issues that the basic ActionScript TextFields 
don't
 have.

 I want to use TextField, and set its style based on a style 
that's
 available in the StyleManager, but can't make the 
connection.

 This is what I did, it works in my test app, but not in my
 production
 app, because the factory is null (I'm loading the CSS swf at
 runtime).

 Is there another way to achieve this:
 var css:CSSStyleDeclaration =
 StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(.myTextField);
 var f:Function = css.factory;
 var styleObj:Object = new f();
 var s:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
 var fmt:TextFormat = s.transform(styleObj);
 var tf:TextField = new TextField();
 tf.defaultTextFormat = fmt;

 I'm hoping there's a simple way to do this that I'm just
 overlooking.

 Oh, and the UITextFields have a slight transparent box 
around them
 when using embedded fonts. If anyone knows how to fix that, 
I'd
 definitely prefer that solution.

Yes, I see the exact same thing in a completely isolated test SWF. In
that SWF I have two textfields, one is UITextField and one is just
TextField, and it is quite apparent. 

I can see it in the SWF viewer launched from Flex Builder. 

I'll post a screen shot of that tomorrow.

  Subject: [flexcoders] Regular TextField styling.
 
 
  The UITextFields that are used in Flex Text components
have some
  rendering issues that the basic ActionScript TextFields don't
  have.
 
  I want to use TextField, and set its style based on a
style that's
  available in the StyleManager, but can't make the connection.
 
  This is what I did, it works in my test app, but not in my
  production
  app, because the factory is null (I'm loading the CSS swf at
  runtime).
 
  Is there another way to achieve this:
  var css:CSSStyleDeclaration =
  StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(.myTextField);
  var f:Function = css.factory;
  var styleObj:Object = new f();
  var s:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
  var fmt:TextFormat = s.transform(styleObj);
  var tf:TextField = new TextField();
  tf.defaultTextFormat = fmt;
 
  I'm hoping there's
