Jesse, Yes, you can apply a style to a single Button on control/container by setting the styleName property, such as:

<mx:Button label="Custom styled" styleName="myStyleName" />
<mx:Button label="Default styled" />

<mx:Style>
    .myStyleName {
        color: red;
    }
</mx:Style>

Hope that helps, Peter

Is there a way to change the style dynamically like this on just one component? Say I just wanted to change the style of button 1 but not the other two?

Ok…I figured could just put it up there but I wasn’t sure since you were using setStyle().

Koo on posting code. I’ll keep that in mind.

Yeah, you can just do this if you want:

PS: The trick to posting code is to change all your < characters to “[” or “<”.

ok dude…I give up on pasting code. :-) Basically, can you set styleName=”plain” in the initial mx:Application tag?

Sorry for the multiple comments.

Does this work just the same but from the initial load?

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        horizontalAlign="center">

    …

</mx:Application>
