Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Actionscript / July 2008

i think that is well-formed css.  but flash is treating that as if it's
malformed.

and flash doesn't do that with standard pseudo-classes like:

a:link {
color: #abb8bd;
text-decoration: underline;
}

so, it's not just the use of a pseudo-class.  it's the combination of a style
and pseudo-class.

your css person could use the following and flash should be happy:

// for styling footer.  in particular, for links in footer both within and
outside of flash.

.footerlink {
color: #abb8bd;
text-decoration: underline;
}
