The language reference says "Name of CSS style declaration that specifies styles for the tabs. The default value is undefined." But, what is the "type" of style that is being used? That is, what style properties can I put in that style definition.
For example, I wish to set the disabledColor of the text on the tab. I couldnt seem to do it. Worse, I haven't been able to find out what I can do!
Is it possible to have 2 different link/hover styles within the same file? i tried using: class A:link {details} class A:hover {details} but no luck.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to define a CSS style dynamically. how to get around hard-coding the values this way:
code: var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("mainBody", {color:'0xff0000, fontSize:12});
I tried something like this, but it isn't working:
code: var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("mainBody", {color:colorVariableFromParentMovie, fontSize:sizeVariableFromParentMovie});
I am trying to get my Trebuchet font working for several different styles in a single fla. I am using Flash CS5 and AS3, but I mustpublish it in flash player 9, so TLF-text is out. I am really confused and irritated by this.The fields are placed on the stage manually and must be able to handle htmlText.I embed all 3 fonts in the library but it doesnt work. If I only use one of the fields, and therefore only one style, it works great.
View 3 RepliesI inherited a custom component from TextField. The component needs to know when any of its styles got changed at runtime via setStyle. How would I do that? It's probably obvious but I couldn't find an event or appropriate method to override.
View 2 RepliesIn MXML, there is a Button class which you can instantiate like so:
<mx:Button id="something />
But what if you wanted to dynamically build this in AS3 and add it to the Flex app dynamically, without the use of components (just AS3) and then modify Flex's styles, for example, here you access the Button's properties and set them:
var btn:Button = new Button();
btn.height = 50;
btn.width = 75;
btn.x = 100;
btn.y = 40;
But how would you go about changing the Style, for example:
btn.downSkin = "something";
btn.color = "0xfffff";
I'm sort of starting to lean towards making a flex component in MXMLand than just making it visible true/false, but I like the fact that i create an object in AS3 and then destroy it when I don't need it anymore, than create it again once needed.
I have a custom item renderer which I use for my DataGrid. The DataGrid has specified selectionColor, rollOverColor and themeColor. The Problem is that the custom item renderer, does ignore those colors, and doesn't give any Feedback...
I tried to add the lines:
setStyle("selectionColor", 0xEDF1F7);
setStyle("rollOverColor", 0xE1F5DE);
setStyle("themeColor", 0x3569B0);
But with no effect...
Can a flex module have styles different from the main application which loads the modules? Meaning... can I have a main set of styles for the application, and separate styles for each module.. with each of them rendering their own styles without disturbing the other at runtime?
My specific case:The main application is developed by me... and the modules are developed by different people who want to contribute to the main application. I want to provide some way for each of the module developers to have their own styles for their modules, without touching the main application or its styles.
I'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)
Here's the key data:
AS (note default formatting, content, etc is working perfectly)
Code:
textBody = new TextField();
textBody.embedFonts = true;
textBody.wordWrap = true;
[Code].....
So theoretically I should have a few big words and a few small words among my otherwise mid-sized text, but the styles are having no effect.
Is there a way to verify that there are actually style in the stylesheet object (though why there wouldn't be I don't know....
I have a Shape object called myShape which contains exactly one rectangle.Is there a way to know the stroke and fill styles of myShape? I want to get the fill color, fill alpha, stroke color, stroke alpha and stroke thickness of the rectangle in myShape.

View 2 RepliesI'm having a strange issue with the Arial font in Flash CS4. I can create a text box and choose the Arial font. That appears to look like regular Arial text. However, if I want to choose a style (italic, bold, bold italic) the text does not change at all. These fonts are loaded on my system and always have been. They work in Flash CS3 and they work in all other programs including Illustrator and Photoshop CS4. In addition to that, all other fonts seem to work just fine including Arial Narrow and the other general system fonts. Arial Narrow allows me to select and apply all the available styles. It seems to be specific to Arial.
This also happens when I open a file that was originally created in CS3 or Flash 8. The font mapping notification does not appear, but if I had a text box that is supposed to be Arial Bold Italic, it automatically changes to look like regular Arial.
I've imported two styles of the Trebuchet MS font into the library. One without selecting the 'bold' checkbox in the Library Panel upon importing and the second with the 'bold' checkbox selected.If I look in the font list of the property panel I now see the two embedded fonts (with asterisks behind their names):
Trebuchet MS Regular*
Trebuchet MS Bold*
The first textfield uses Trebuchet MS Regular* and off course shows the text in plain style.The second uses Trebuchet MS Bold* and I would expect the text to turn immediately bold, but it is still in regular style when I select Trebuchet MS Bold*. In both cases (Trebuchet MS Regular* and Trebuchet MS Bold*) I would have to select 'B' in the properties panel to make the text bold. Which in the second case seems a bit too much to me. Why still have to click 'B' when I already have Trebuchet MS Bold* selected?
Too make it more weird: I could also import Trebuchet MS with Italic selected, choose Trebuchet MS Italic* (which would make the text 'regular' at first) and click 'B' to also make the text bold. why Flash works this way with imported fonts?(I know I should/could use TextFormat, but I'm curious about this other approach and why Flash works this unlogical way with embedded fonts)

Let's say I have a text field with some HTML formatted text inside.
txt_field.htmlText = "This is <b>sample</b> text."
how do I embed my fonts so it'll show both the regular and the bold version of the font? It just works on my Mac but when I look at it on a PC it doesn't even display the right font. Instead of the bold version of the font, how could I use the black version of the font instead?
When Flash starts up, the default color picker looks like this: I have accidentally somehow made mine look like this:And I have no idea how I did this, how to do it again, or how to get it back to the default.
All my web searches come up with a lot of stuff about coding my own color pickers or importing new ones and stuff. I just want to switch between these two modes: I would like mine back to the default, and my coworker would like hers (stuck on the default!) to look like mine.

I have two problems with this code.this.styleSheet is always null when I create an instance of the class.

I'm creating a Flex 4 application which contains different modules in it.

I am trying to add CSS styles into a XML document which is loaded in flash.So, I am loading the CSS in actionscript, and applying a stylesheet in my textfield.
Now, what tag do I need to use in order to apply the classes of the CSS in different parts of my XML document? I tried using the span class but it didn't work.
I'm doing a kind of PowerPoint presentation (to give a very basic idea of the whole concept) and there are a variety of dynamic content in there. Videos, audios, quizzes, etc. What I'd like to have, is components that the designers will simply have to drag on a slide and the component would then handle much of the work without needing any code at all.
The problem I have, is that I'd like to use SWC-based components, and then have a skin that can be applied (a bit like the FLVPlayback component). I have no idea where to go from here though, because most tutorials I find use FLA-based components. And I could turn to that if what I want to do ends up being too much trouble for what it's worth, but the division of the skin and the actual component is something I like a lot. Designers will only need to do a skin and tada, everything will (in theory :P) work.
