Flex Using external style sheets
Category: Flex Examples, flex tutorials | 2,911 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>

Exception Handling with Flex
Category: Flex Examples, flex tutorials | 10,964 views | 1 Comment
A common hurdle a developer may face is dealing with exceptions in BlazeDS. When an exception is thrown in Java, how do we handle this in flex? Here is a simple and flexible approach inspired by Scott Morgan.
1. Create a Java Class that extends RuntimeException.
package com.flexpasta.exception;
public class FlexException extends RuntimeException
{
public FlexException(String message)
{
super(message);
}
}
