title: Is it possible to style a Spark Button like an old Halo Button? (with CSS only)
body: <p>I think Adobe are messing with me, from all the docs and tutorials it seems like styling a simple button got much more difficult in Flex 4 (Spark). I used to be able to have my designer create the CSS as it wasn't too far off from web standard CSS. Now it seems like I need to make a skin first as outlined in <a href="http://www.jamesward.com/2010/07/30/how-to-define-styles-on-skins-in-flex-4/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>?</p>
  
  <p>Below is the old button style.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Button {
      fontFamily: "Arial, Helvetica";
      fontWeight: bold;
      fontSize: 11px;
      paddingTop: 0px;
      paddingBottom: 0px;
      highlightAlphas: 0.42, 0.13;
      fillAlphas: 1, 1, 1, 1;
      fillColors: #B9DEF8, #9AC3EB, #B9DEF8, #9AC3EB;
      color: #477199;
      textRollOverColor: #477199;
      textSelectedColor: #3399cc;
      borderStyle: none;  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
