Yes, that's what I meant. And it looks like it's even more specific. If I put the skin on the bottom-level class (the one that subclasses ADG) or the actual instance of the grid, it works fine. There's only a problem when the skin is in the middle class.
Here's a minimal piece of code which demonstrates the problem: ==== StandardTreeGrid.mxml (in myCode namespace) ==== <!-- This class overrides various properties of ADG --> <!-- Putting the skin here fixes the problem --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:AdvancedDataGrid xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; verticalGridLines="false"> </mx:AdvancedDataGrid> ==== StandardTreeGrid2.mxml (in myCode namespace) ==== <!-- Override headerSeparatorSkin. Only here does the skin cancel out the properties of StandardTreeGrid --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <myCode:StandardTreeGrid xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; headerSeparatorSkin="CustomHeaderSeparator"> </myCode:StandardTreeGrid> ==== main.mxml ==== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:ics="myCode.*"> <!-- putting the skin here fixes the problem --> <ics:StandardTreeGrid2> <ics:columns> <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn/> <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn/> </ics:columns> </ics:StandardTreeGrid2> ==== CustomHeaderSeparator.as ==== package { import mx.skins.ProgrammaticSkin; public class CustomHeaderSeparator extends ProgrammaticSkin { public function CustomHeaderSeparator() {super();} override public function get measuredWidth():Number {return 2;} override public function get measuredHeight():Number {return 10;} override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {return;} } } --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Pan Troglodytes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I might have to see some code before I can figure it out.
