It occurs to me that I should probably mention how styles are currently
set in FlexJS. Right now there is a "style" property and a couple of ways
to set it:
1) HTML style syntax, such as: style="left:10px;right:10px"
2) Subobject, such as:
<js:style>
<js:SimpleCSSStyles left="10px" right="20px" />
</js:style>
The latter allows for code intelligence and doesn't require string parsing
at runtime. One could specify other sub objects with fewer or more CSS
style properties including non-standard properties in case memory and
performance becomes an issue.
As you think about how the SWF-side emulation will eventually have to deal
with other CSS units like "em" and "in", hopefully it is easier to see why
it is different from the straight "Number = Pixel" we used in regular Flex.
