Request: How to set a global component style in Flash / AS3?
Solution: Use StyleManager class and setComponentStyle method to set global styles

Following code sets color, size and textPadding properties to each Button Component used in your own Flash Application.

import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import fl.controls.Button
 
// Set a global textFormat for every Button Component
var tf:TextFormat= new TextFormat();
tf.color = 0x0000FF;
tf.size = 16;
StyleManager.setComponentStyle(Button, "textFormat", tf);
 
// Set a global style property for every Button Component
var styleProperty:String = "textPadding";
var value:Number = 30;
StyleManager.setComponentStyle(Button,styleProperty,value);
