This is a way to save miltiple style sheets, with said style objects. To lengthy to explain right now but, the ideas worked well.

> yes I am subscribed to Flexcoders,

That was called English language sarcasm.

The idea is, you can load seperate style sheets and keep them in memory while updating them. You can also dump an instances styles into a REAL .css file. OR .xml. I found XML to be nicer, this I will have to see about.

I will get it working. I am going to take a day break on the docuementer and test some of my ideas.

You say - “Applier”, ha-ha,
I understand - an approach to set CSS styles in run-time in Flash(Flex) applications via setStyle AS2( AS3) operand

We built applier in your therminology in Flex 1.5, we use at the dead end setStyle operand to set CSS dynamically in the run-time.

You say “Cache” and “External StyleSheet” ideas
I understand use TextField.StyleSheet.onLoad from Flash MX 2004 API to load CSS file in run-time, store contents in External StyleSheet…. and then I lost a track

ps1
com.teotigraphix.utils.TeoUtility.createStyleSheet factory class is not included in your Flexcoders post

ps2
yes I am subscribed to Flexcoders, just happened to miss your quite a huge code snippet (ExternalStyle.as 700 lines of code)

I think as3 regexp will kick it’s ass. I wrote a documenter using big time regexp(I love regexp) and it is tremendoulsy fast. I would say the native will beat it by leaps and bounds.

But because of low penetration figures of Flash Player 9 at the authumn 2006, we stick to Flex 1.5 at 2006.

I promised you to keep updating you on our CSS parser in AS2… It was not me, who had written, I will ask an author about his direct opinion on possible releasing open-source of our code.

What I can say, that the authour is very keen on AS2 Lib.

He is using ArrayList data type and RegEx Matcher patterns in CSS AS2 parser… Maybe AS2 Lib implemenatation of RegEx is too slow, can not say abything right now.

HA, I posted some of them on flexcoders yesterday. Ben Stucki has an applier that is good and I have cache and style sheet ideas.

Flexcoders, we are talking about putting it on osflash.org. Anyway, check the archives for recent CSS talk.

Stuff like this I don’t mind sharing, there comes a point where you just can’t give away some work becasue you are planning a return on investment IE time.

Remember, Flex 1.5 was ASVM1, ASVM2 is very fast. I doubt through using some coding tricks we will run into that problem.

Peace, Mike

Will you keep them from the rest of the world as a top-guarded secret?

ps

Seems like we had hit with our CSS parser in Flex 1.5 serious performance problems… We continue investigating with AS Profiler..
