Rather than having to skin new components
any reason you couldn’t just put a transparent shield on top of everything
to intercept keyboard and mouse events? We have some examples in the docs somewhere
of how to do this.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to
change the appearance of a checkbox ?
Hi,
I've checked the skinning properties but don't
understand how to use
them. The API reference only points to
SimpleButton class which has
its own skin values like
"SimpleButtonUp". I tried some of the
properties but did not get them to work. And the
API also says
that "The SimpleButton control is also the
the only control that
allows you to specify skin properties in
MXML" - which made me think
that checkboxes cannot be handled the same way.
I am making a sort of print preview window. The
data is entered in
another place in another form and the container
I'm making is only
supposed to display the data and enable printing
it on paper. So the
controls should look nice and be inaccessible by
the user. Hopefully
this is not confusing..
