If you want to give customized status message {It will be shown on top-right instead of bottom-left} in an Alert window, you need to define the custom properties in a style tag.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- giving colored status message of an alert control-->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
width="320"
height="240"
backgroundGradientColors="[#ffffff, #b0b0ff]"
>
<mx:Style>
@font-face{
src: local("Comic Sans MS");
fontFamily: customFont;
}
Alert{
statusStyleName: customStatus;
}
.customStatus{
/*Here color as well as font properties are changed.*/
color: #FF0000;
fontFamily: customFont;
fontSize: 15;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
private var _alert:Alert
private function showAlert():void{
_alert = Alert.show("The Alert message goes here","Alert title.");
_alert.status = "Status message";//status message!
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="Show Alert" y="116" x="109" click="showAlert()"/>
</mx:Application>
Hi
it is nice to see someone learning flex. Such a powerful RIA tool . Isnt it? I am also on the learning curve and will be regularly visiting your blog.
Good Luck
