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

    <mx:Style>
        .myCustomButtonStyleName {
            cornerRadius: 16;
        }
    </mx:Style>

    <mx:Array id="arr">
        <mx:Object label="Button" />
        <mx:Object label="ButtonBar" />
        <mx:Object label="CheckBox" />
        <mx:Object label="ColorPicker" />
    </mx:Array>

    <mx:ButtonBar id="buttonBar"
            buttonStyleName="myCustomButtonStyleName"
            dataProvider="{arr}"
            height="32" />

</mx:Application>

View source is enabled in the following example.

If you want to set the buttonStyleName style using an external .CSS file or <mx:Style /> block, you can use code similar to the following snippet:

<mx:Style>
    ButtonBar {
        buttonStyleName: myCustomButtonStyleName;
    }

    .myCustomButtonStyleName {
        cornerRadius: 16;
    }
</mx:Style>

How do you set the middle buttons to have rounded corners. the buttonStyleName : cornerRadius does not affect the middle buttons. Help!

Sorry, this blog is terrible at eating HTML comments.
If you're pasting any HTML/XML/MXML code, you need to convert your < characters to &lt; and your > characters to &gt; .

You can use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> <pre lang="" line="" escaped="">
