Using styles

There are some changes to the way you use styles. For example, the use of style properties is
now more strictly enforced. If you try to apply a style to a component that does not support
that style, Flex throws and error. Also, you cannot use the

StyleManager.styles

property to

change styles for entire classes in Adobe Flex Software Development Kit (SDK) 2. Finally,
some of the color value formats have changed.

This section describes these changes.
