External style sheets

[leotemp]

Well youd think this would be pretty straight forward but no matter what i do i
dont get any changes in my app. I have tried defining the style sheet and then
asigning the style values using "styleName" but nothing..
My application uses the <mx:Style tag as stated in the docs, not sure what im
doing wrong, here is the chunk from my otherwise working app that uses the
style sheet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
styleName="App">
<mx:Style source="style.css"/>


and here is the style sheet, style.css
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
App {
color: #000000;
backgroundGradientColors: #c0c0c0, #ffffff;
backgroundImage: 'img/background.png';
}


Hopefully im just dumb, please help this is the final step i need to finish my
app.. :(

So the style definition you created would apply to <mx:app></mx:app>
tags. The easiest way to fix this is to change your css definition to:

Application {
color: #000000;
backgroundGradientColors: #c0c0c0, #ffffff;
backgroundImage: 'img/background.png';
}
