Flex :: Skinning - Use StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration To Set Button Skins?
Feb 9, 2010
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 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'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?

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()"/>

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 have a problem which involves skinned buttons returning to their default skins after certain actions occur in my application. Below I have included a partial screenshot where you can observe the problem.The left button is returned to its default skin after it was clicked (the click triggers a state transition). The right button is the default skinned button. Note that my mouse is neither over nor pressing the left button.The code for the Button Skin is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fx:Metadata>

What I'm trying to do: build a super simple button skin (say a small circle when in up state, slightly larger circle when in over / down states) that has a larger mouse hit area than visible area. In other words, I'd like the button to look like a 5x5 circle when in up state, but transition to over state when the mouse is in a 15x15 pixel area around such circle - in order to make clicking on the button easier.
What I've done in the past is to use a transparent ellipse behind the the visible ellipse. This works nicely but seems like a waste of memory (not much, although if you start having a lot of these buttons it adds up) and rendering cycles (transparency). I thought I could avoid this by wrapping the ellipse in a group with a given size and listen to its mouse events, but somehow no mouse events seem to fire on such a group - not sure why.
I guess I'd love to know if anyone knows an efficient way to do this. Also would love to know why such a group won't fire mouse events, but I guess that's secondary. Simple code snippet below:

I'm testing some font embedding in Flex 4. Using the tutorial below (modified a bit), I'm loading in fonts via compiling CSS into SWFs. [URL] When I apply those styles to my Flex components all is well, however, I need to add an AS3 component to my Flex app. This component has some Flash text fields in it. The only way I know to embed fonts in AS3 is completely different and I believe requires another load. What I want to know is if there is any way that the text fields in my AS3 component can use the same styles and embedded fonts that the Flex components are using.

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:
public final class AssetImporter{
[Embed("resources/images/Button_btn_upSkin.png")]

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.

The issue I am having is creating an application with nearly every component skinned using CSS. The majority of the components are skinned using:Embed(source="file.png");method. The problem I am running into, is flex trying to compile all of the embedded assets into the final swf. As it stands now, my compiled swf stands around 16mb!@@ OUCH. It is a very large application, but not that big. Any ideas on how to load the assets into the application at run time, or on request maybe?

we try to develop a flash game engine with several abstraction layers. This flex project contains: an Application (1)-> loading a class (2)-> loading another class (3) which instanciates a Flex component (4).
The loadings uses SWFLoader. The last Flex component (4) is just a Group with AdvancedDataGrid. We do not define skins so I suppose it must take default skin.The problem is that during execution, an error is throwed because default skin for components cannot be found in the Flex component (4). In our case, for the AdvancedDataGrid:
Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.In mx.controls::AdvancedDataGridBaseEx. The guilty command is: getStyle("headerSeparatorSkin"); which returns null
For the moment, we found two solutions :
the first solution is to add the attribute headerSeparatorSkin="spark.skins.SparkSkin" into the AdvancedDataGrid of the Flex component .

I wanna set a custom skin on my progressBar, but it's not working out the way I want it to. My skin has 3 different colors on it (green, yellow, red) and green should show until it's about 50%, then I want the yellow to appear after green and the red at 90% after green and yellow. So at 100% they should all show.The problem is that the ProgressBar only sets the width of my skin so all colors are showing at all times. But if I use the indeterminateSkin but dont set indeterminate to true that doesn't happend.How can I make a skin that doesn't just change width? Atm I'm just using a MovieClip for a skin.

I am having 2 problems creating programmatic skin for Canvas.
First problem: I would like to have background with rounded corners and I am using GraphicsUtil.drawRoundRectComplex in order to have round corners for only the upper two corners. The problem is that drawRoundRectComplex takes for each corner one single parameter - the corner radius. However my scaleX and scaleY factors are different and in fact the corners are not properly rounded because I either can set the radius using scaleX or scaleY. Graphics.drawRoundRect is better because it takes two parameters for the corners - elipse width and height and then you could apply both scale factors but it doesn't allow me to specify different radius for different corners. How to use GraphicsUtil.drawRoundRectComplex when scaleX and scaleY are different.
Second problem: Even though I set my programmatic skin through style - <> the skin's updateDisplayList gets executed only once and after that somehow "backgroundImage" style gets "undefined" and my programmatic skin is not associated anymore to the Canvas instance. As a workaround I am setting on each resize event "backgroundImage" style again but this is ugly. What could cause such "silent" resetting of the "backgroundImage" style to undefined?
