    Getting more colors for your Halo

    Getting more colors for your Halo

    Have you been working with Halo colors in the MX components? Then you probably know how to change your Halo themes using the following ActionScript:

    1. myButton_btn.setStyle ("themeColor", "haloBlue");

    However, did you know you could also add different colors instead of the three halos? You can try entering a hex value instead of the theme colors. You won't get the semi-transparent look, but despite the lack of transparency it still looks ok on some of the components.

    1. myButton_btn.setStyle ("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
