[flexcoders] fontFamily style: inconsistency between ASDocs and developers guide.
In every ASDoc description of the fontFamily style that I've read, it says,
Unlike in a full CSS implementation, comma-separated lists are not supported.
But in the Adobe Flex 3 Developer Guide, on the first page of chapter 19 (Using
Fonts), it says, This property can take a list of fonts, as the following
example shows:
...
fontFamily: Arial, Helvetica;
...
Am I misunderstanding something, or are these to statements entirely
contradictory, and if so, which one is correct? Are comma-delimited lists only
supported in external stylesheets, and not by the setStyle() method?
Also, on page 667 (Using device fonts), it shows this example:
mx:Style
.myClass {
fontFamily: Arial, Helvetica, _sans;
and goes on to say You must surround device font names with quotation marks
when defining them with style declarations. How would you do it with the
setStyle() method.?

I think the new TLF handles comma separated lists

I think TextField also started accepting fontFamily with a comma-separate list
in Player 9. I believe this ASDoc is incorrect. Can you file a doc bug at
