StyleProxy  - AS3 Flex

The name of the component class.

A set of string pairs. The first item of the string pair is the name of the style in the source component. The second item of the String pair is the name of the style in the subcomponent. With this object, you can map a particular style in the parent component to a different style in the subcomponent. This is useful if both the parent component and the subcomponent share the same style, but you want to be able to control the values seperately.

The identity of the component.

An object containing the inheritable styles for this component.

An object containing the noninheritable styles for this component.

The object that implements the IStyleClient interface. This is the object that is being proxied.

The style declaration that holds the inline styles declared by this object.

The source of this object's style values. The value of the styleName property can be one of three possible types:

• String, such as "headerStyle". The String names a class selector that is defined in a CSS style sheet.
• CSSStyleDeclaration, such as StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".headerStyle").
• UIComponent. The object that implements this interface inherits all the style values from the referenced UIComponent.

The parent of this IAdvancedStyleClient.. Typically, you do not assign this property directly. It is set by the addChild, addChildAt, removeChild, and removeChildAt methods of the flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer and the mx.core.UIComponent.addStyleClient() and the mx.core.UIComponent.removeStyleClient() methods. If it is assigned a value directly, without calling one of the above mentioned methods the instance of the class that implements this interface will not inherit styles from the UIComponent or DisplayObject. Also if assigned a value directly without, first removing the object from the current parent with the remove methods listed above, a memory leak could occur.

Constructor.

Deletes a style property from this component instance.

This does not necessarily cause the getStyle() method to return undefined.

Parameters

Returns an Array of CSSStyleDeclaration objects for the type selector that applies to this component, or null if none exist.

For example, suppose that component MyButton extends Button. This method first looks for a MyButton selector; then, it looks for a Button type selector; finally, it looks for a UIComponent type selector.

Gets a style property that has been set anywhere in this component's style lookup chain.

This same method is used to get any kind of style property, so the value returned may be a Boolean, String, Number, int, uint (for an RGB color), Class (for a skin), or any kind of object. Therefore the return type is specified as *.

If you are getting a particular style property, you will know its type and will often want to store the result in a variable of that type. You can use either the as operator or coercion to do this. For example:

      var backgroundColor:uint = getStyle("backgroundColor") as int;
      
      or
      
      var backgroundColor:uint = int(getStyle("backgroundColor"));
      

If the style property has not been set anywhere in the style lookup chain, the value returned by the getStyle() method is undefined. Note that undefined is a special value that is not the same as false, the empty String (""), NaN, 0, or null. No valid style value is ever undefined. You can use the static method StyleManager.isValidStyleValue() to test whether the value was set.

Parameters

Returns true if currentCSSState is not null. Typically, you do not call this method directly. It is called by the mx.styles.CSSCondition.matchesStyleClient() method.

Note Spark components use their skin state as the pseudo state. Halo components use the currentState property.

Returns true if cssState matches currentCSSState. Typically, you do not call this method directly. It is called by the mx.styles.CSSCondition.matchesStyleClient() method.

Note Spark components use their skin state as the pseudo state. Halo components use the currentState property.

Parameters

Determines whether this instance is the same as, or is a subclass of, the given type. Typically, you do not call this method directly. It is called by the mx.styles.CSSCondition.matchesStyleClient() method.

Parameters

Propagates style changes to the children of this component.

Parameters

Sets up the internal style cache values so that the getStyle() method functions. If this object already has children, then reinitialize the children's style caches.

Parameters

Registers the EffectManager as one of the event listeners for each effect event.

Parameters

Sets a style property on this component instance.

This may override a style that was set globally.

Calling the setStyle() method can result in decreased performance. Use it only when necessary.

Parameters

Called when the value of a style property is changed.

Parameters

Flex calls the stylesInitialized() method when the styles for a component are first initialized.
