1174 StyleManager class
StyleManager.registerInheritingStyle()
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
StyleManager.registerInheritingStyle(propertyName)
Parameters
propertyName A string indicating the name of the style property (for example,
"newProp1", "newProp2", and so on).
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; marks this style property as inheriting. Use this method to register style properties
that arent listed in the CSS specification. Do not use this method to change non-inheriting
style properties to inheriting.
When a styles value is not inherited, you can set its style only on an instance, not on a custom
or global style sheet. A style that doesnt inherit its value is set on the class style sheet, and
therefore, setting it on a custom or global style sheet does not work.
Example
The following example registers newProp1 as an inheriting style:
StyleManager.registerInheritingStyle("newProp1");
