Availability
Flash Player 7.
Usage
styleSheet.setStyle(name:String, style:Object) : Void
Parameters
name
A string that specifies the name of the style to add to the style sheet.
style An object that describes the style, or null.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; adds a new style with the specified name to the style sheet object. If the named style does
not already exist in the style sheet, it is added. If the named style already exists in the style sheet, it
is replaced. If the
style parameter is null, the named style is removed.
Flash Player creates a copy of the style object that you pass to this method.
Example
The following code adds a style named emphasized to the style sheet myStyleSheet. The style
includes two style properties:
color and fontWeight. The style object is defined with the
{} operator.
myStyleSheet.setStyle("emphasized", {color:'#000000',fontWeight:'bold'});
You could also create a style object using an instance of the Object class, and then pass that object
as the
style parameter, as the next example shows.
var my_styleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var styleObj:Object = new Object();
styleObj.color = "#000000";
styleObj.fontWeight = "bold";
my_styleSheet.setStyle("emphasized", styleObj);
delete styleObj;
var styleNames_array:Array = my_styleSheet.getStyleNames();
for (var i=0;i<styleNames_array.length;i++) {
var styleName:String = styleNames_array[i];
var thisStyle:Object = my_styleSheet.getStyle(styleName);
trace(styleName);
for (var prop in thisStyle) {
trace("\t"+prop+": "+thisStyle[prop]);
}
trace("");
}
