It makes sense to ignore CSS errors when a CSS file is first parsed at runtime. You want a "best effort" rendering of the CSS. Web pages aren't required to be compiled and typechecked before they're put on the server. If they were, you would in fact want to catch the error at authoring time. Basically, it doesn't make any sense for a compiler to ignore CSS errors, particularly since in Flex they result in code generation. If we moved to runtime parsed CSS where the compiler never sees it, I'd expect that should do the "best effort" approach, though. -rg

CSS specification is pretty clear that bad rules should be ignored. Compilation errors are an inherent flaw in the Flex compiler if they are generated by CSS rules, especially if those rules include specific binary font requirements. ----- Original Message ---- From: Brian Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 11:45:21 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] New Version of Flex Style Explorer with Tons on New Features Peter, Yeah I saw that. Just so you guys know, MyriadWebPro. ttf and MyriadWebPro- Bold.ttf isn't included in the download, so it won't compile until you go get the files off your server or remove the reference from the css. thanks again, B.. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Peter Baird Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 12:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] New Version of Flex Style Explorer with Tons on New Features Eh, personal preference I guess. Personally, I didn't care for all the visual clutter that a million color wheels added. The good news, however, is that the source code is available to you with view source (from the online version at http://examples. adobe.com/ flex2/consulting /styleexplorer/ Flex2StyleExplor er.html), <http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExpl orer.html),> and you can go into the colorPicker components (components/ colorPicker, components/doubleCo lorPicker, and components/quadColo rPicker) and change the visibilty of the images to be always visible and recompile for your very own version where color wheels are always visible. -Peter On 2/13/07 1:59 PM, "Brian Holmes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: Peter, The new style explorer's great, but man you guys are killing me with the roll over to show the advanced color picker.
