The SolidColorStroke class defines the properties for a line. You can define a SolidColorStroke object in MXML, but you must attach that SolidColorStroke to another object for it to appear in your application. The following example defines two SolidColorStroke objects and then uses them in the horizontalAxisRenderer of a LineChart control:

  ...
  <mx:SolidColorStroke id="ticks" color="0xFF0000" weight="1"/>
  <mx:SolidColorStroke id="mticks" color="0x0000FF" weight="1"/>
  
  <mx:LineChart id="mychart" dataProvider="{ndxa}">
  	<mx:horizontalAxisRenderer>
  		<mx:AxisRenderer placement="bottom" canDropLabels="true">
  			<mx:tickStroke>{ticks}</mx:tickStroke>
  			<mx:minorTickStroke>{mticks}</mx:minorTickStroke>
  		</mx:AxisRenderer>
  	</mx:horizontalAxisRenderer>
  </LineChart>
  ...

The <mx:SolidColorStroke> tag inherits all the tag attributes of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <mx:SolidColorStroke
