hi there, What I meants was: I don't think you can apply scale 9 to a class in css. I think you can only do one or the other..either in flash with classes or in css with bitmaps, but not 100% sure on this, I've never had to do it.
I wonder why it isn't stretching properly from the flash, and I assume there is a reason you are using flash with bitmaps, perhaps because of an animation?...if there isn't then why not go with all bitmaps only? In that your css would look like something like this: .flipButton{upSkin: Embed(source="../images/iconCloseImage.png",scaleGridLeft="1",scaleGridTop="1",scaleGridRight="2",scaleGridBottom="2");overSkin: Embed(source="../images/iconCloseImage.png",scaleGridLeft="1",scaleGridTop="1",scaleGridRight="2",scaleGridBottom="2");downSkin: Embed(source="../images/iconCloseImage.png",scaleGridLeft="1",scaleGridTop="1",scaleGridRight="2",scaleGridBottom="2");color: "0xC8C8C8";textRollOverColor: "FFFFFF";textSelectedColor: "FFFFFF";textAlign }: "left"; ________________________________ From: quinrou <quin...@yahoo.co.uk> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 6:37:33 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: flash cs3 skinning Hi, I used the scale9grid which is part of the flash cs3 ide. the button template in flash cs3 already offers the scale9grid guides. All I did is move them to the right place so it wouldn't deform my round bits on my skin. here is the css I used to apply the skin .flipButton { skin: ClassReference( "FlipButtonSkin" ); color: "0xC8C8C8"; textRollOverColor: "0xFFFFFF"; textSelectedColor: "0xFFFFFF"; textAlign: "left"; } how would you apply the scale9grid to the skin in this case? many thanks S --- In flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com, Alain Thibodeau <thibodeau.alain@ ...> wrote: > > You mean you did the scale 9 in Flash with the guides or in the flex css?
