Question

I’m trying to compile existing Flex 4 project but having an error:

Call to underfined method getStyleManager of StyleManager class.

The code is:

var styleManager:IStyleManager2 = StyleManager.getStyleManager(null);

I found the method in Flex documentation but when I open StyleManager.as I can’t find the method declaration.

Used Flex SDK 4.0.0.10485 from here.

Try upgrading your version of Flex, is that possible? It’s working for me, I do this:

import mx.managers.SystemManagerGlobals;

public static function getStyleManager():IStyleManager2
{
    return mx.styles.StyleManager.getStyleManager(SystemManagerGlobals.topLevelSystemManagers[0]);
}

I’m using Flex 13645.

It also depends on when you’re calling StyleManager possibly: if you’re calling that method in a Preloader, that could be a problem.
