I’m trying to change the style of ToggleButtonBar at runtime and I finally got everything to work – except that for some reason using CSSSTYLEDECLARATION on my ToggleButtonBar resets the style of all my TextArea’s too.

There must be a way to turn off the inherit attribute or stop the propagation somehow. This is destroying my life… !

I’ve been thinking of all these hacks to fix my problem, and just like you said, even if I get it work, it’s just an ugly hack.

Love Flex but hate the intricate workarounds that I need for seemingly simple tasks.

I’m stoked for Thermo though – I’m really hoping it’s the answer.
