OK. I am usually very hesitant to criticize Adobe because of the immense respect I have for their employees and the amazing technology they create. I have built my career around their products. That being said, the styling capabilities in Flex are downright silly. I have suffered silently through some small, yet extremely annoying "nuances", but this one takes the cake: You can't style a Button to not have a border!!!
Developer: "Hey button, go ahead and skip your border drawing routine." Button: "Eff that! I love my borders and I ain't getting rid of them for anyone!" WTF. I can understand not supporting some styling features people would like, but not supporting one that is just turning something off? What gives? I realize I could probably subclass Button and override the drawing but that is uber-overkill for something that should be a simple attribute. If someone from Adobe can offer a valid reason for why this isn't supported I would love to hear it. I would also be very interested to know if styling is an area that is being focused on for significant upgrades in future versions. Thanks, Ben
