Importing Style Sheets

You can create new style sheets (CSS files) within your project. But if you already have created a style sheet in another project and want to reuse it in your current project, you can import that style sheet.

How to import a style sheet

Select Project>Add Stylesheet.

The Add New Stylesheet dialog opens.
Next to the Source File field, click .
Find and select the style sheet file that you want to import.
Click Open.

The Source File field now contains the path to the file that you are importing. Also, the name of the file is displayed in the File Name field.
Leave the selection in the Folder field as Resources/Stylesheets.
If you want to give the style sheet a different name than that for the imported file, click in the File name field and replace the text.
Click Add.

The Copy to Project dialog opens, displaying information about the file that will be copied to the project. Also, if that file contains links to other files, they will also be listed (and therefore copied).
Click OK.

The style sheet is added to the Resources\Stylesheets folder in the Content Explorer and opens in the Stylesheet Editor.

Note: You can also import individual styles from another style sheet. See Importing Styles.

Note: In addition to importing single files from another location (which this topic discusses), you can import linked files from a Flare source project using a featured called "Global Project Linking." This is different than a simple import process, because in this case, the imported files remain linked to the source project. This allows you to make future updates to those files in just one place—in the source project file. When you perform ongoing imports using your previous settings, Flare recognizes changes to the source files. Therefore, the new files can be brought over, replacing the outdated files. See Global Project Linking—Importing Files from Other Projects.
