Flex: The CSS type selector was not processed because the type was not used in the application

Question

When I use a custom skin for my app I get these warnings all over the place. Yes I know why. But I don't need to be told this, and I don't like all the yellow icons cluttering up my workspace. I know if I remove the unused classes they will go away but 1) if later I decide to add a component I want the class to be in-place to style it and 2) my skin is in a shared location so even if this app doesn't use a particular class another app using the same skin probably does. So does anyone know a way to tell flex builder to ignore this particular type of warning?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In the "Additional compiler arguments" box of the Flex Compiler section of your Project Properties, append the following to disable warnings about unused CSS type selectors:

-show-unused-type-selector-warnings=false

It works just fine.

Don't just disable all warnings, it's really important to know that bindings might fail etc.
