Clears the CSSStyleDeclaration object that stores the rules for the specified CSS selector.

If the specified selector is a class selector (for example, ".bigMargins" or ".myStyle"), you must be sure to start the selector property with a period (.).

If the specified selector is a type selector (for example, "Button"), do not start the selector property with a period.

The global selector is similar to a type selector and does not start with a period.

Returns the numeric RGB color value that corresponds to the specified color string. The color string can be either a case-insensitive color name such as "red", "Blue", or "haloGreen", a hexadecimal value such as 0xFF0000, or a #-hexadecimal String such as "#FF0000".

This method returns a uint, such as 4521830, that represents a color. You can convert this uint to a hexadecimal value by passing the numeric base (in this case, 16), to the uint class's toString() method, as the following example shows:

   import mx.styles.StyleManager;
   private function getNewColorName():void {
       StyleManager.registerColorName("soylentGreen",0x44FF66);
       trace(StyleManager.getColorName("soylentGreen").toString(16));
   }
   

Converts each element of the colors Array from a color name to a numeric RGB color value. Each color String can be either a case-insensitive color name such as "red", "Blue", or "haloGreen", a hexadecimal value such as 0xFF0000, or a #-hexadecimal String such as "#FF0000"..

Gets the CSSStyleDeclaration object that stores the rules for the specified CSS selector.

If the selector parameter starts with a period (.), the returned CSSStyleDeclaration is a class selector and applies only to those instances whose styleName property specifies that selector (not including the period). For example, the class selector ".bigMargins" applies to any UIComponent whose styleName is "bigMargins".

If the selector parameter does not start with a period, the returned CSSStyleDeclaration is a type selector and applies to all instances of that type. For example, the type selector "Button" applies to all instances of Button and its subclasses.

The global selector is similar to a type selector and does not start with a period.

Tests to see if the given String is an alias for a color value. For example, by default, the String "blue" is an alias for 0x0000FF.

Tests to see if a style is inheriting.

Test to see if a TextFormat style is inheriting.

Tests to see if this style affects the component's parent container in such a way as to require that the parent container redraws itself when this style changes.

When one of these styles is set with setStyle(), the invalidateDisplayList() method is auomatically called on the component's parent container to make it redraw and/or relayout its children.

Tests to see if the style changes the size of the component's parent container.

When one of these styles is set with setStyle(), the invalidateSize() method is automatically called on the component's parent container to make its measured size get recalculated later.

Tests to see if a style changes the size of a component.

When one of these styles is set with the setStyle() method, the invalidateSize() method is automatically called on the component to make its measured size get recalculated later.

Determines if a specified parameter is a valid style property. For example:

   trace(StyleManager.isValidStyleValue(myButton.getStyle("color")).toString());
   

This can be useful because some styles can be set to values such as 0, NaN, the empty String (""), or null, which can cause an if (value) test to fail.

Adds a color name to the list of aliases for colors.

Adds to the list of styles that can inherit values from their parents.

Note: Ensure that you avoid using duplicate style names, as name collisions can result in decreased performance if a style that is already used becomes inheriting.

Adds to the list of styles which may affect the appearance or layout of the component's parent container. When one of these styles is set with setStyle(), the invalidateDisplayList() method is auomatically called on the component's parent container to make it redraw and/or relayout its children.

Adds to the list of styles which may affect the measured size of the component's parent container.

Sets the CSSStyleDeclaration object that stores the rules for the specified CSS selector.

If the selector parameter starts with a period (.), the specified selector is a class selector and applies only to those instances whose styleName property specifies that selector (not including the period). For example, the class selector ".bigMargins" applies to any UIComponent whose styleName is "bigMargins".

If the selector parameter does not start with a period, the specified selector is a "type selector" and applies to all instances of that type. For example, the type selector "Button" applies to all instances of Button and its subclasses.

The global selector is similar to a type selector and does not start with a period.

The getColorName() method returns this value if the passed-in String is not a legitimate color name.
