setStyle not working with new TextArea

[djoseph74]

Hi Everyone,

I have:


vb.label = "woof" + counter;

chatTA.x = 10;
chatTA.y = 10;
chatTA.width = 390;
chatTA.height = 460;
chatTA.id = "woof" + counter;
chatTA.wordWrap = true;
chatTA.editable = false;

chatTA.setStyle( "chatMsgsTextArea", 12 );

vb.addChild( chatTA );

tabNavigator.addChild( vb );


I am creating a new tab on a TabNavigator. That portion is working fine. Its creating the tab, creating the textarea, but the styling is not there. I have my style setup:


<mx:Style>
.chatMsgsTextArea
{
borderColor: #000000;
borderStyle: solid;
color: #000000;
cornerRadius: 7;
fontSize: 12;
}
</mx:Style>


the only thing its not doing is styling the new TextArea.

I'm guessing maybe I'm doing it in the wrong place or something, but can't put my finger on it.

Can someone assist?

Joseph, use setstyle() like this.



chatTA.setStyle( "styleName", "chatMsgsTextArea" );



Alternatively, you can doi like this



<mx:textarea stylename="chatMsgsTextArea" />
