Shared CSS Color name as constant between multiple applications

[Ghazi Triki <gh...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Is there any way to define a colour name as variable in CSS? I want to
avoid "PropertyReference" as the style or theme will be shared between
multiple applications.

I tried using styleManager.registerColorName at the application
preinitialize but it does not reload color definitions and matches them
to the already defined styles.

Maybe something like:

Shared CSS:
.myStyle {
    colorName: 'red';
}

Application creation complete:
var c:CSSStyleDeclaration =
this.styleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".myStyle");
var myColor:String = c.getStyle("colorName");
Alert.show('MyColor: ' + myColor);

You could also set a hex value for color in the CSS and read it as an uint
number in the code.

Thanks,
Om

I think it depends.  How are you using it?  In MXML or AS?  The compiler
might already have a list of known color names that is less easy to extend.
