90 Creating Simple MXML Components

If you define a type selector for a superclass of the custom control, and for the custom control

itself, Flex ignores any conflicting settings from the type selector for the superclass, as the

following example shows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

xmlns:MyComp="myComponents.*">

<mx:Style>

ComboBox {

color: red;

openDuration: 1000;

fontSize: 15;

}

StateComboBoxWithStyleProps {

color: green;

}

</mx:Style>

<MyComp:StateComboBoxWithStyleProps/>

<mx:ComboBox/>

</mx:Application>

In this example, the StateComboBox control uses green text, and the values for the fontSize

and

openDuration styles specified in the type selector for the ComboBox control.
