[Xerte] Using stylesheet in Xerte3

[Peter Huppertz]

It seems to get a little more complicated in Flex4. I tried this one from the adobe website:

@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";

mx|Application {
    backgroundColor: #ff0000;
}

and it gives me a red background of my piece. So the stylesheet seems to load fine.

If I try to define my_tag in the stylesheet it throws an error that it does not exist in the namespace. If I define a custom namespace @namespace mynamespace "library://com.mycompany.* and mynamespace|my_tag { ... } it seems to be OK, but nevertheless text with <my_tag> does not change its appearance

>> 5) Apply styles using the property styleName on icons (is it also possible to use Text in Text?)
