[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081113-laszlo-4 Summary: Color example 3 gives warnings.

[Lou Iorio]

I've never fully understood this example, and I think it's far more  
complicated than it has to be.

For one thing, the actual text "Blue1" looks like it's being styled by

     #tName {
     fgcolorName : "blue";
     }


     <view id="vName" height="100" width="100"  
bgcolor="$style{'bgcolorName'}"/>
     <text id="tName" font="verdana,sans-serif" fontsize="30"  
fontstyle="bold" height="40"
		fgcolor="$style{'fgcolorName'}">Blue1</text>


Indeed, the text is blue when compiled to DHTML. However, the  
displayed text is black in
both SWF8 and SWF9. The same is true of the other two examples using  
CSS.

Further, since DHTML doesn't import fonts, the result when you
compile to DHTML wraps oddly. Simplifying the <text> fixes that problem:

     <view id="vName" height="100" width="100"  
bgcolor="$style{'bgcolorName'}"/>
     <text id="tName" fontsize="30"  
fgcolor="$style{'fgcolorName'}">Blue1</text>

I also think it would be more clear if <text> were a child of <view>  
instead of a sibling so
the text appears in the view instead of to its right.

Here's a simplified version of your example (again, this works in  
DHTML but not SWF):

If I'm wrong about this, please enlighten me.
