Code Answer: Flex: How to access properties of component in dynamic creation?

Hello everyone. I have a component which is created dynamically. I want to access the properties on it.

for example i create a vbox and i want to access the text font or gap of the component

var MyVBox: VBox = new VBox; MyPanel.addChild(MyVBox);

How should it be done?

From stackoverflow

The thing to remember when using ActionScript instead of MXML is that the style properties are not accessed as properties on the object but through the getStyle("propertyName") method. Font is a style for example.

Jejad : i am new in ActionScript. I code delphi before and the code is very different. I started study flex 2 weeks from now. By the way how should it be done? Can u give me an example code? thank you for your quick response
All properties and methods are accessed with "." (dot) notation.

Example:
```
myVBox.width = 400;
```
Styles are set using the setStyle() method. In your case that would be
```
myVBox.setStyle("fontFamily", "arial");
myVBox.setStyle("verticalGap", 20);
```
Check the docs at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/ for the available properties and styles of each component.
