The TextArea and TextInput components use exactly the same styles and are often used in the
same manner. Thus, by default they share the same class-level style declaration.
For example, the following code sets a style on the TextInput declaration, but it affects both
TextInput and TextArea components.
_global.styles.TextInput.setStyle("disabledColor", 0xBBBBFF);
To separate the components and provide class-level styles for one and not the other, create a
new style declaration.
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
_global.styles.TextArea = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("disabledColor", 0xFFBBBB);
This example does not check if
assumes you know it exists and want to overwrite it.
