Hi Jude, Adding a '../' to the ClassReference gives me the following error: 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before doubledot.
Can someone throw some ideas, please? Just FYI, this is in reference to Issue no.1 as described below in my original email. Issue no.2 is fixed :) Thanks in advance! - David -----Original Message----- From: jude [mailto:flexcapaci...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2015 4:33 PM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Flex 4.6 Spark Skin question Maybe ClassReference("../skin.sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent On Friday, February 6, 2015, David Frank <david.fr...@on24.com> wrote: > Hey guys, > > First time mailing the group.
