68 Alert component (Flash Professional only)
The Alert component includes three different categories of text. Setting the text properties for
the Alert component itself provides default values for all three categories, as shown here:
import mx.controls.Alert;
_global.styles.Alert.setStyle("color", 0x000099);
Alert.show("This is a test alert", "Title");
borderStyle
Both The Alert component uses a RectBorder instance as its
border and responds to the styles defined on that class.
For more information, see “RectBorder class”
on page 1063.
The Alert component has a component-specific
borderStyle setting of “alert” with the Halo theme and
“
outset” with the Sample theme.
color
Both The text color. The default value is 0x0B333C for the
Halo theme and blank for the Sample theme.

default color is 0x848384 (dark gray).
embedFonts
Both A Boolean value that indicates whether the font
specified in
fontFamily is an embedded font. This style
must be set to
true if fontFamily refers to an embedded
font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this
style is set to
true and fontFamily does not refer to an
embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is
false.

value
"normal" in place of "none" during a setStyle()
call, but subsequent calls to
getStyle() return "none".

The default value is
