The new Styling Mechanism allows for a better control of shared Style Definition bases versus sharing the Proxy directly. The Style Definition will also signal all connected proxys of any changes. Style Proxies contain the local-only definition, including overrides and cache information for extended lookups. Changes can be “pushed” to the definition. The Proxies inherit automatically as parent/children in the DisplayList and can be turned off. The Master Style Dictionary can also load multiple CSS files. Expect tighter integration with the Theme Server for use with “groups” to define a fully inheritable solution for any desired use. There is also a new mechanism for “impact decisions” for the state of the DisplayObject. More later.
