Setting the accent color on the MX Alert control default button in Flex 4
The following example shows how you can set the accent color on the MX Alert control’s default button in Flex 4 by setting the new accentColor style.
Full code after the jump.
The following example(s) require Flash Player 10 and the Adobe Flex 4 SDK. To download the Adobe Flash Builder 4 trial, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/. To download the latest nightly build of the Flex 4 SDK, see http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.
For more information on getting started with Flex 4 and Flash Builder 4, see the official Adobe Flex Team blog.

This entry is based on a beta version of the Flex 4 SDK and therefore is very likely to change as development of the Flex SDK continues. The API can (and will) change causing examples to possibly not compile in newer versions of the Flex 4 SDK.

Hi,
Just want to thank you for a great blog, hope you guys blogging forever! :D
I curious why you’re not have any live demos for Flash Builder?
Thanks!
/Andreas
@Andreas,
I haven’t been posting SWFs on the blog lately because they take a lot of extra time, plus the Flex 4 API is still somewhat changing which means I’ll eventually have to redo all these examples anways so they compile in the final Flex 4.0 release SDK (and then deleting all the old example SWFs and reposting them is a lot of extra extra work).
One day all of these should have examples (or not, depending on how much work it is). Depends on if I want to spend all my time playing with old examples or writing new content.
Peter
am new flex… get me useful tips dude if u can to velucarthick@gmail.com
