Flex/Actionscript CSS Percentage Height & Width

Ran into this particular issue several times as I was working on a little Flex Video Player app. Within the mx tag you can specify height and width of components as a percentage number that includes the % sign.

 

But if you end exporting some of the styles you apply to an external CSS page, then you can't specify style spec like:

height: 100%;
width: 100%;

Nor can you specify as such:

percentageHeight: 100%;
percentageWidth: 100%;

Although mx tags allow you to specify height and width in px or % format, the CSS spec is a little more picky unfortunately. So here's the correct syntax that will save you lot of headache I suppose:

percentageHeight: 100;
percentageWidth: 100;

 

This'll be recurring problem for me from time to time for sure. So I should etch this into this blog for sure.
