Constructor for the FStyleFormat object
Availability
Flash Player 6.

Usage
formStyleFormat = new FStyleFormat();

Parameters
None.

Returns
An instance of the FStyleFormat object.

Description
Method; creates a new FStyleFormat object. You create new FStyleFormat objects to define text and color properties for custom style formats used with custom components or with the Flash UI components. All Flash UI components are assigned by default to globalStyleFormat , which is an instance of the FStyleFormat object. You do not need to create a new instance of the FStyleFormat object to change properties in the global style format, because it already exists. You can also use setStyleProperty to change properties for specific component instances without using a constructor.

For more information, see the setStyleProperty method available to each component— FCheckBox.setStyleProperty , FComboBox.setStyleProperty , and so on. See also the "Customizing component colors and text" of the "Using Components" chapter of Using Flash.

Example
The following example creates the new style format formStyleFormat .

 formStyleFormat   =  new FStyleFormat();
