You can also create a CSSStyleDeclaration object and assign it to a new style declaration by
using the following syntax:
var styleObj = _global.styles.newStyle = new
mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration();
Use the following syntax to specify the properties you want to define for the
8.
style declaration:
styleObj.setStyle("fontFamily", "_sans");
styleObj.setStyle("fontSize", 14);
styleObj.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
styleObj.setStyle("textDecoration", "underline");
styleObj.setStyle("color", 0x336699);
styleObj.setStyle("themeColor", "haloBlue");
In the same Script pane, use the following syntax to set the

components to the custom style declaration:
a.setStyle("styleName", "newStyle");
b.setStyle("styleName", "newStyle");
c.setStyle("styleName", "newStyle");
