Availability

Flash Player 7.

Usage

styleSheet.getStyle(styleName)

Parameters

styleName A string that specifies the name of the style to retrieve.

Returns

An object.

Description

Method; returns a copy of the style object associated with the style named styleName. If there is no style object associated with styleName, null is returned.

Example

Suppose a style sheet object named textStyles loads an external style sheet file named styles.css that contains a single style named heading, which defines font-family, font-size, and font-weight properties, as shown below.

// In styles.css
heading {
  font-family: Arial;
  font-size: 24px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

The following code loads the styles from the CSS file, and then displays each property name and its value in the Output panel.

var styleSheet = new TextField.styleSheet();
styleSheet.load("styles.css");
var sectionStyle = styleSheet.getStyle("heading");
for(property in sectionStyle) {
  var propName = property;
  var propValue = sectionStyle[property];
  trace(propName + " : " + propValue);
}

This would display the following in the Output panel:

fontfamily : Arial
fontsize : 24px
fontweight : bold
