Flex :: Change Values Of Custom Skin At Run Time?
Mar 5, 2011
I have built a basic theme for my Flex app. I would like to add support for additional predefined themes. By default, app has a theme and I would like it to change when user selects a theme from dropdown list. This can be done by loading a swf file using styleManager. However, all the skins have colors hard-coded in them. So, in order to achieve this I would have to duplicate skins and change value of the colors.
Is there a better way of doing this? Can I just have a skin that will change color values dynamically based on user selection?

I have a SkinnableContainer that I would like to add a border to. I have already created a skin class that creates a 1 pixel border around all four sides of the container successfully, however, I would like the border to only be for the top and bottom of the container, not the sides (left, right). How can I achieve such a thing? I have attached my current skin class.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- containerssparkmySkinsMyBorderSkin.mxml -->
<s:Skin xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I have a custom Flex 4+ component that I am trying to make and have the skin be aware of changes to a custom property. This property will determine the graphic on the button (and some other visual changes) but the data will change constantly as it will be updated by a timer.
I've looked at untold examples and still seem unable to get the syntax correct or discover how things should be separated. I've looked at overriding commitProperties and the PropertyChangeEvent without success. So I have two questions.
1) How can I get a skin to be notified of a bound property when it changes?
2) If the data for a bound property of the component is an object, will binding work properly if a property of the object changes (or would it be better to pass each property separately)?

How do you set the default value of skinClass for a custom component in Flex? I've extended the DropDownList with my custom component, but I would like to specify a default skin to go with it instead of always setting the skinClass value for each instance.

I'm trying to create a simple skin for the flex progressbar control. Both the track and the bar should have rounded corners, and the bar should fill the track completely in the parts where it is being shown.
Here is the bar skin I've created based off this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
[Code]....
Instead of the bar being flush with the track, there's a margin, and the rounded border gets cut off.

I wanted to change the background color of my Panel title area and I discovered that I needed to create custom skin or skin extender to accomplish this. So I created a skin called myPanelSkin based upon the Spark.PanelSkin. My background color works fine but it will no longer show the cornerRadius defined either on the component or in a styleI then tried another approach and simply created a new skin as an exact copy of the Spark.PanelSkin. It also looses the cornerRadius.

I use a flex mx:datagrid. I can set the headerBackgroundSkin to specify a skin or a picture to be displayed in all datagrid column's headers and it works just fine !
The problem is I can't find any way to specify a custom skin for the currently sorted column (doesn't matter if the sort is asc or desc, this is just to show the user which column is currently sorted).
I also tried to create a custom headerRenderer for each column but it is quite complicated and doesn't work very well.
I have been looking for the solution for a while but I can't find a good approach to do it. It sounds like a very basic need for me...incredible it is so complicated to achieve with Flex !!
I noticed someone was looking for the same thing few years ago but without success... [URL]

I have a custom component ExpandCollapseMenu that extends SkinnableContainer.This component can have state "normal" or "expanded".Inside this component I have buttons, with different skin based on ExpandCollapseMenu's state.This works fine when defining the buttons inside ExpandCollapsMenu's skin class:
<s:Group id="contentGroup" top="20" left="10" right="10" bottom="10">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>

SkinParts are a great way to add event handlers and logic to an object that is instantiated in the skin, away from any business code. Often, though, I find myself wanting to do the opposite, and define parts that will be used in reusable, skinnable containers in the parent mxml files which will be inserted into the skinned containers.
What's the best practice for when you want to be able to define a control and a skin which can be reused with different controls inserted from outside the skin? Edit: A better way to put this might be that I want to use something that works a little bit like a SkinnableContainer, but that isn't limited to one area where content can be placed.

I am importing a video into Flash using the wizard.When I get to the screen that asks about the skin for the controls, I choose custom and then type the URL:..for my player.When I try to upload the SWF that is generated, the player doesn't show up.I have checked the component inspector and see that the URL is indeed saved there and if you go to the URL of the custom player SWF, it loads.

I am trying to build a custom skin for a video that I have.I created the skin and buttons(play, pause, and stop) in photoshop and imported them into flash.I then hit ctrl R and import the video.The buttons I select and convert to button symbols and give them instance names.The video I select and make that a movie clip and give that an instance name.I then click on a button and go to behaviors (this is in actionscript 2.0) and assign them the proper actions.It seems like everything should work but it does not.As a side not I can create an animation in flash with buttons and they work.But it does not work with a movie clip.

I am trying to set a custom skin URL on an FLVPlayback object. The object is on the stage named vid. When I have the following code: vid.skin = '[URL]'; I get the following error when debugging in the CS5 IDE: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found When publishing the file to an SWF it "dies" (it stops video playback) at exactly the same point. There is no error message or other indication of what happens in the browser. The flash still seems to work, it responds to ExternalInterface events. It just refuses to play the video. I'm using FLVPlayback 2.5.0.26 with Flash Pro 11.0.2.489 on Win7 64-bit.
How do I fix this? If I comment out the video.skin assignment then the video plays great (except there are no play/pause controls). But when I try to set it I get this internal Flash error. Incidentally if I assign vid.skin = 'invalid/url' then it doesn't die, instead it gives me a warning that the skin cannot be found. The valid.swf url is a copy of the MinimaFlatCustomPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf skin that comes with CS5.

I have a repeater that populates a component, called 'project'. The project components are given an ID of 'wholeProject'. In all of my functions up until now, I was able to determine how many project components were made by doing the following:
wholeProject.length;
I used this in for loops, for each loops, and for changing the item settings within a project, i.e. something like this:
wholeProject[i].studentName = "Billy Bob";
However, I'm creating a new function that does not seem to like this wholeProject.length reference. I'm using it within the same level as all the others (i.e. the parent level). So far, my function is simply this:
public function getStudentYears():void
{
Alert.show(String(wholeProject.length));
}
when the application loads, the alert message simply does not appear. If I change the alert to something like this:
Alert.show("This is just a test.");
it works just fine. But for some reason, the wholeProject.length doesn't work in this function whereas it does in all my other ones.
