RE: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script
Do you know of any metrics round this? Sorry, I don't have any. But calling setStyle() on a single control shouldn't be particularly expensive. Calling setStyle() on a class selector or the global selector would be, though, because it affects multiple components. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Harris Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 5:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script Thanks guys!
