When that event comes in, apply the style. My guess is that the setStyle functionality bypasses some of the controls in the life cycle logic of the chart, whereas styleName will just set a flag somewhere and the logic will just wait until the appropriate moment to apply the styles to the objects, which will have been instantiated at that point. MPO is that if you use styleName you should not need to add an event listener for initialized or creationcomplete. Be aware that neither of these events will fire until the component has already been added to the Canvas and the Canvas has been added to the display list. HTH; Amy

I just tried as suggested and still the same. May be it does not get

[flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
Hm I don't use charts.
Maybe you could try...
myComp.myChart.styleName = "noGutterChart";
Actaully, the myChart component may not have been instantiated at that point. I
would add a creationComplete event handler to the myChart component that
dispatches a custom event that will bubble up to the component that you are in.
When that event comes in, apply the style.

[flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
use the styleName option if your applying a CSS to it:
mychart.styleName = "noGutterChart";

Re: [flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
Actually I am trying to apply a very simple style to a chart. My chart is
inside a
canvas component and in a separate file. I want to add this chart containing
canvas in dynamically. This component is like this:
Now I have this simple styles for the the chart which are:
.noGutterChart {
gutterLeft:0;
gutterBottom:0;
gutterTop:0;
gutterRight:0;
}
Now as I am trying to create the component dunamically and want to apply
the
style to the chart I get the error message.
var myComp:ChartComp = new ChartComp;
myComp.myChart.setStyle("styleName","noGutterChart");
This gives me the error message that I cannot access a function of a
null object.

[flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
In that case he should use the styleName property...
.myStyle
{
cornerRadius: 9;
fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
fillColors: #6699ff, #6699ff, #6699ff, #6699ff;
themeColor: #00ff00;
fontSize: 24;
}
var button:Button = new Button;
button.label = "My Fancy New Button";
button.styleName = "myStyle";
this.addChild(button);

Re: [flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
Hi,
I think he's trying to set a named CSS style ("myStyle") on the Button using
setStyle(). I don't think that's possible?

[flexcoders] Re: apply style in newly created component
I don't understand. Once you use the "new" operator, the button is
instantiated. You can apply all sorts of styles to it before adding it
to the displayList. For example, this works for me...
var button:Button = new Button;
button.label = "My Fancy New Button";
button.setStyle("cornerRadius", 9);
button.setStyle("fontSize", 24);
button.setStyle("themeColor", '#00FF00');
button.setStyle("fillColors", ['#6699ff', '#6699ff',
'#6699ff', '#6699ff']);
button.setStyle("fillAlphas", [1, 1, 1, 1]);
this.addChild(button);
