Method Detail

getMergedStyleDeclaration

()method
public function getMergedStyleDeclaration(selector:String):CSSStyleDeclaration

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Gets a CSSStyleDeclaration object that stores the rules for the specified CSS selector. The CSSStyleDeclaration object is created by merging the properties of the specified CSS selector in this style manager with the properties of any parent style managers.

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.

Parameters

selector:String — The name of the CSS selector.

Returns
CSSStyleDeclaration — The style declaration whose name matches the selector property.
