That's how I interpreted it: that he is actually talking about the button's border. Ben, is that what you were talking about? If so, the skin method is the way to go.

If he is talking about the actual button border, that is the skin and he needs to create a new skin. The button does not have borders, it has skins. It dosn't even share the same characteristics of a Container that has a border. These are not the same things. So, Ben, what do you mean when you say the Button's border? Or, what do you want...

If the label is present, you click on the label and the Button functions correctly. I don't know what he is aiming for here but, if you 'don't' have a border, there is no other hit area specified for the component. So, how are you going to get mouse events from a component that dosn't have a hit area? Bottom line is, this approach does work if you plan to use a label, other than this, why would you want a button without a label and border if you want to click on it?

I am usually very hesitant to criticize Adobe because of the immense respect I have for their employees and the amazing technology they create. I have built my career around their products. That being said, the styling capabilities in Flex are downright silly. I have suffered silently through some small, yet extremely annoying "nuances", but this one takes the cake: You can't style a Button to not have a border!!! Developer: "Hey button, go ahead and skip your border drawing routine." Button: "Eff that! I love my borders and I ain't getting rid of them for anyone!" WTF. I can understand not supporting some styling features people would like, but not supporting one that is just turning something off? What gives? I realize I could probably subclass Button and override the drawing but that is uber-overkill for something that should be a simple attribute. If someone from Adobe can offer a valid reason for why this isn't supported I would love to hear it. I would also be very interested to know if styling is an area that is being focused on for significant upgrades in future versions.
