TextField.StyleSheet.setStyle()

773

//
function dumpStyles(styles:TextField.StyleSheet):Void {

var styleNames_array:Array = styles.getStyleNames();
for (var i = 0; i<styleNames_array.length; i++) {

var styleName_str:String = styleNames_array[i];
var styleObject:Object = styles.getStyle(styleName_str);
trace(styleName_str);
for (var prop in styleObject) {

trace("\t"+prop+": "+styleObject[prop]);

}
trace("");

}

}

TextField.StyleSheet.setStyle()

Availability

Flash Player 7.

Usage

styleSheet

.setStyle(

name:String

,

style:Object

)

: Void

Parameters

name

A string that specifies the name of the style to add to the style sheet.

style

An object that describes the style, or

null

.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; adds a new style with the specified name to the style sheet object. If the named style does
not already exist in the style sheet, it is added. If the named style already exists in the style sheet, it
is replaced. If the

style

parameter is

null

, the named style is removed.

Flash Player creates a copy of the style object that you pass to this method.

Example

The following code adds a style named

emphasized

to the style sheet

myStyleSheet

. The style

includes two style properties:

color

and

fontWeight

. The style object is defined with the

{}

operator.

myStyleSheet.setStyle("emphasized", {color:'#000000',fontWeight:'bold'});

You could also create a style object using an instance of the Object class, and then pass that object
as the

style

parameter, as the next example shows.

var my_styleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();

var styleObj:Object = new Object();
styleObj.color = "#000000";
styleObj.fontWeight = "bold";
