Description

We deprecated the style properties in ColorPicker to style the swatch panel, and replaced them with swatchPanelStyleName. But, there is no way to know what styles you can apply to the swatch panel becasue SwatchPanel.as is hidden in ASdoc and the property used to access it is mx_internal:

mx_internal function get dropdown():SwatchPanel

{ return dropdownSwatch; // null if not created yet }

We should expose SwatchPanel, and make it appear in ASDoc. Alex mentioned that to do so we would need to create an ISwatchPanel interface and add a swatchPanelFactory.
