Flex :: Skinning A Button Through Document States?
Mar 21, 2012
I came across this piece of code and it intrigued me. I haven't seen skinning like this before. I'd like to know if there are any downsides and alternatives to it. For example, is it cpu intensive like addChild calls are?
<s:Button id="loginoutBtn" right="10" top="10" label="Log out" label.loggedout="Log in" skinClass.loggedin="skins.FBLogoutButtonSkin" skinClass.loggedout="skins.FBLoginButtonSkin" click.loggedin="logout()" click.loggedout="login()"/>

I've just started playing about with skinning and am finding it harder than anything else I've come across in Flex 4 Mobile. It needs to be done in actionscript as I am trying to skin a flex mobile button. Here is what I have so far: (It does very little, only changes the background color)
package skins {
import flash.display.GradientType;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import mx.utils.ColorUtil;
import spark.components.supportClasses.StyleableTextField;
import spark.skins.mobile.ButtonSkin;
[Code] .....
There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation for skinning Flex mobile components purely in actionscript. How do we add a border for example?

Anyone missed the old simple method for skinning a simple button?
CODE:
The problem im having is that, this method of creating a simple button with skin is being phased out : Infact it is no longer supported in flex 4.5 mobile projects.
So the question: Is there a simple way to perform this, with spark buttons (which is suppose to be the new way to go). As simple as possible.
Basically i only need a button with 2 images : down/over & up. And i want to keep the code as simple as possible : The new skinning methods, seems to really adds way too much lines for something that used to be as simple as the example above.

I am trying to load an swf file which has button skins as images (In the library of the swf file i have given export properties which is 'TickMark') and set the skin of a flex button using StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration.I am getting errors like 'Argument count mismatch on TickMark(). Expected 2, got 0.'This is what i am trying to do:
private function init():void
{
loader = new Loader();[code].....
If I use the class GraphicClass in setStyleDeclaration, it works... but basically I want it dynamically.Or there are other easy methods to skin (image) a flex button dynamically?

I have a button in my application and I want it to respond a bit in a special way. Initially the label color of the button is White, I want the color of the text to change to 50% white on the Over State and to 25% on the Down state. Is this possible?
I tried an alternative way using css which does not do the percentage stuff but only changes the color (see css code below), but this does not seem to work. I more specifically want the color to change in terms of percentage like I mentioned above.
Note that I am using the Skin file only to loads images for each state on the button.
s|Button#specialButton {
downSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_focus");
overSkin: Embed(source="text.swf", symbol="btn_hover");

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I 4 different images to be used as up, over, donw, disabled skins for a button. I am using [Embed] tag to do this job. I get no errors but the button is not visible either. If I trace x, y, width, height etc of the button, they come fine. Here is my code: Pls suggest, what's going wrong.I have a separate class which simply embeds all PNGs.
Code:

I'm working on a Flash game and I'm using button components in the UI. I like that the key functionality is built into them and that they are fairly easy to skin. The problem is, I need to be able to skin them with a bitmap (specifically a PNG) using AS3. I've found a couple of Flex frameworks out there that might help but we're not using Flex in our development process.

Let's say you have a large number (N) of spark buttons in your app. Let's also say that your buttons all have very similar skins (size, various effects, etc) - the only difference being the specific png that they use as their BitmapImage. Do you end up with N skin files, all differing by 1 line? Or is there a smarter way to do this while not adding a lot of code when you create the buttons in MXML (in fact, ideally, none).

I have the Spark scroll bar in my application skinned the way I want where I use s|VScrollBar and then set skinClass: ClassReference(my skin class) in my CSS file. For my Halo scroll bar I have the skins set for each element of the scroll bar (arrows, thumb, track, etc.) but I want to have one central class like with the Spark scroll bar.

I am trying to programmatically skin a PopUpButton control in Flex Builder, but having no luck. As far as I know this requires writing a custom skin class or creating a modified version the control class itself (since the control is MX and not Spark). Again, just to clarify, I want to programmatically modify the appearance not simply set styling properties or display an image. I've been able to do this programmatically with other MX controls (e.g. tabs in a tab navigator), but not with the PopUpButton.I think part of the problem may be that the control is actually composed of two separate buttons, so you cannot draw just one rectangular area over the whole control.

I am going to use a HSlider to set a range of values. I would like the left thumb to look like ( and the right thumb to lok like ) so they appear to encompass the range like (range) instead of |range|. I only know how to set the skin for SliderThumb which will set the skin for both. Does anyone know of a way to set a different skin for each thumb?

I am having some issues when trying to skin the scrollbar on a horizontalList with Degrafa. The scrollbar doesn't show up at all. I checked to see if the scrollbar is supposed to show up without the skinning, and it does.Here is some code:This is where I define the HorizontalList where I want a skinned scrollbar.[code]I am populating the HorizontalList with more items than are viewable, and like I said before the scrollbar shows up when I remove the skinning.

I work with Flash all day at work, and I've made a million buttons. But today, I decided to make a few at home for my personal website. I made a rectangle, turned it into a button symbol, and made keyframes on each state. When I tested it, it didn't work. If I go to Control -> enable simple buttons, it works just fine, but either testing it with ctrl-enter or opening up the SWF gives me a dead button with only the up state.
I uploaded the fla. How could something so simple not work?
It was created in flash CS4, but I saved it down to CS3/Flash player 9 for the sake of compatibility.

Well I've got some problems changing the Up, Over, Down and Hit state of my button. For example when I have created 4 of those states, and I just normally save my flash file, the next time I open it my states are gone but when I play my animation the button still works with the correct states (the created Up, Down, etc. states). But then again when I enter my editor to create those Up, Over, Down, and Hit states they're just missing?

I have a mouseOver and mouseOut stage of a button. Each button has some text in it. When I rollover the button the button does some animation, however, as soon as I rollover the text, which is inside the button, it triggers the rollout event. The text is inside the button and is inside another movie clip with no actionscript applied to it. The text is even non-selectable. What am I doing wrong?
[AS]
for(var i:Number = 1; i<4; i++){
var tmpMC:MovieClip = getChildByName('main_link'+i) as MovieClip;

I am trying to complete my navigation bar. I have the onRollOver / Out and Release states finished, my only problem now is that onRelease is not reversable. Once I click on another button, my previously pressed button is still in its down state. All my buttons have been created dynamically with no timelines involved. He is the button code that is within a for loop:
[code]
navBar["myBtn"+i].onRollOver = function() {
//create pointer mc over button
