I've tinkered around most of today - read quite a bit - and I'm not really sure if I'm on the right track.
In my default Flex app the components are obviously pre-styled with one of the Themes. As part of a fairly interesting contract I'm working on - I'd like to specify the styles of my components myself - programmatically through stylesheets. I'm becoming more aware of how much I have to "unstyle" what seems to be the existing default theme. For instance - with Flex Style Explorer, button components have a nice bevel. The manuals seem to indicate that the default theme doesn't allow you to control that aspect of the button component. Ideally I'd like to create the styles either via stylesheets, or programmatically through the drawing API (although - lord knows I'm oblivious to the syntax required to take Kevin Hoyts accordian example and apply that style of director skinning to a button component). Is there a way to set the themes to close to nill - so I can work my way up from there? And - is there a decent example of succesful reskinning of a button component to be found on the interweb? After I crashed explorer by freestyling Kevin's Example and attempting to extend the button class - I'm cautious with how I'll proceed. I'd prefer to work with the stylesheets and drawing API - I'd like to replicate this base button shape http://grae.halltech.com.au/media/ui_icon_ok.gif - and create my own custom button components which I can then pass glows, blurs, etc over. I had a crack at the 9slice - the 9slice accordion skin prior to Kevin's demonstrated some issues with masking non-square shapes. Here's hoping I'm on the right track. - Grae -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
