Flex Using external style sheets
Category: Flex Examples, flex tutorials | 92 views | Add a Comment
Flex supports external CSS style sheets. You can declare the location of a local style sheet or use the external style sheet to define the styles that all applications use. To apply a style sheet to the current document and its child documents, use the source property of the <mx:Style> tag.
| NOTE | You should try to limit the number of style sheets used in an application, and set the style sheet only at the top-level document in the application (the document that contains the <mx:Application> tag). If you set a style sheet in a child document, unexpected results can occur. |
The following example points to the style.css file in the flex_app_root/assets directory:
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!– styles/ExternalCSSExample.mxml –>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”><mx:Style source=”../assets/style.css”/>
<mx:Button id=”myButton” label=”Click Here”/>

</mx:Application>
Flex Zoom Effect
Category: Flex Examples | 261 views | Add a Comment
The Zoom effect zooms the object in or out on a center point.
When you apply a Zoom effect to text rendered using a system font, Flex scales the text between whole point sizes. While you do not have to use embedded fonts when you apply a Zoom effect to text, the Zoom will appear smoother when you apply it to embedded fonts.
Note: The Zoom effect does not work when the Container.autoLayout property is false.
The <mx:Zoom> tag inherits all of the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:
Code Samples:
<mx:Zoom id=”ID” captureRollEvents=”false|true”
originX=”Calculated” originY=”Calculated” zoomWidthFrom=”0.01″
zoomWidthTo=”1.0″ zoomHeightFrom=”0.01″ zoomHeightTo=”1.0″ />
Flex WipeLeft Effect

The WipeLeft class defines a bar wipe left effect. The before or after state of the component must be invisible.
You often use this effect with the showEffect and hideEffect triggers. The showEffect trigger occurs when a component becomes visible by changing its visible property from false to true. The hideEffect trigger occurs when the component becomes invisible by changing its visible property from true to false.
