[Bindable] metdata gets retained, and so should appear in describeType()'s output, but [Style], [Event], and [Effect] do not. You could, however, recompile the framework to keep them. Look at the <keep-as3-metadata> tags in the Ant build.xml file for frameworks/projects/framework, for example.
Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dmitry Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 11:01 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Is there a way to enumerate all of the available styles in CSSStyleDeclaration? the way to get Style,Event, Effect and Bindable metadata from UIComponent when calling describeType However, the above does not work since subclasses of CSSStyleDeclaration, DataGridColumn for instance, in Flex do not have [Style] metadata defined. Yet, FlexBuilder somehow knows about all of the available styles for DataGridColumn. Is there a programmatic way to retrieve these? Thanks in advance --- Dmitry
