Re: [flexcoders] Where To Declare CSS Style Name in AS Component
Do you have any sample codes for this? I'm still having a hard time trying to
figure this out in my code.
For example, I have two files, one is named default.css and my component is
named myButton.as
Where do I declare which?
Thanks.

I believe the fully qualified name is now used to find the type-selector.
Namespaces allow you to specify the fully-qualified name with less typing.
So, if your component is in package foo, then declare the namespace foo and use
it to qualify the type-selector.

Dear FlexCoders,
In Flex 3, you can simply name your CSS style to the name of the component you
created. For example, you created an AS component named MyNewButton, hence, in
your CSS file, you can declare a style with name MyNewButton and the component
automatically picks up that style.
But when you use Flex 4, you get an error saying: CSS type selectors are not
supported in components: MyNewButton.
Modifying the CSS file, let us say the style name MyNewButton has been now
declare as .MyNewButton{}. How do I reference the new style name to be used by
the component? How do I declare it in the AS file?
Thanks for your inputs.

Re: [flexcoders] Calculating width of a child BEFORE it's added...
For mx:Label, you can try using measureText() on the parent unless the label will have different styles that will affect measurement. Then you’ll have to add it and call validateNow() and call getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth(). But why not use mx:Text? Why do you have to get the width exactly?

Re: [flexcoders] Where To Declare CSS Style Name in AS Component
Wesley,
I did not quite understand what you meant here (my less than expertise in CSS
and designing in general is a hindrance in tackling this quite simple problem,
perhaps).
Previously in Flex3, when you declare a CSS style named after a component, that
component would get the styles you have declared automatically. Say you have a
component myButton, then creating a default css file and naming a style
myButton, that style is carried by the component all throughout the application.
But in Flex4, they made some changes to that. It gives you a warning (or
error?)
that you have to qualify the CSS declaration.
Now, what I did was to rename the CSS style to .myButton{}. Notice the dot
before the CSS name.
I want this style to be used by myButton component (ActionScript) but I am lost
where to declare or to even make the component know that it needs to use that
style. How do I actually that style for the component whereas previously, there
wasn't much of a problem.
I think I may also need to understand the logic why Flex decided to go on this
path. Certainly, if you got a lot of components and the styling is declared in
a centralized CSS file, and then you moved to Flex4, you got to have an AWFUL
lot of changes you need to make to your codes.
Thanks a lot.
