When i import a video into my flash document i choose one of the premade skins in flash and when im in the design view i can see it. However when i publish the file as a swf or .exe the skin either disapears or just doesn't work.I have managed to get a skin that stays when i publish however the play, rewind and fast forward buttons don't work. However the seek and volume ones do. Im am currently using flash cs4 and actionscript 2
View 1 RepliesOn all these web 2.0 websites i see those nice presentation videos/animations like here: i search a similar skin addsocials click on "how it works". it would take maybe 1 or 2 days for me to make such a simple but clean animation video. Are there websites where we can buy or download such skins for fast customization? the only website i know is activeden but i can't find any animation skins to buy. isn't there a market for such things?
View 1 RepliesCurrently I skin videos with Steel External no volume. However my client wants a lighter grey, not as light as Mojhave but lighter than steel. I wonder if anyone knows if I can get other coloured flash skins (just the basic ones) from anywhere. Im happy to purchase but all I can find are fancy skins rather than just more variety of the standard skins.
View 1 RepliesThe 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?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to use Flash CS5.5 to make a flash video.I have successfully used the Media Encoder to take a WVM file and convert it to use in flash..I have choosen a skin to use for playback.My question is that I now want to take the flash video (swf) and the skin (swf) and add it to an exsisting web page I have...(using Dreamweaver)Can anyone tell me how to do this -- since the video and skin are separate swf's?I did try to embed a FLV directly into my webpage and that worked...(the content is all video).

I'm looking for a tool to create just the skins for different kinds of Flex 4 components.I'd like to be able to create the components myself and have the designer/artist do the skin, but I don't think they'd like the idea of doing them by writing MXML files.
View 2 RepliesI have some flash .FLV videos that I've posted to a clients website using the built-in Flash skins (Halo is what I'm using) My client would like to be able to see a moving buffer of how much video has downloaded so the viewers will know when the video is about to clip.Standard stuff but not sure if the built-in flash player for DW has that option Can anyone tell me if it does or not What would be the best way to get a buffer indicator (not pre-loader) into a flash player if not?

View 1 RepliesHow to use the skins shown on various sites e.g flex skin site into my flex project.
View 1 RepliesYou click on tv, then on the first thumbnail and the video starts playing.When you resize the browser window the video stays centered.Thats exactly how I want it to
You can see the same example as before, but this time there are playbackcontrols which would be perfect if it wasnt for the fact that if you now resize thbrowser window, the video jumps almost its own width to the left.

View 1 Replieswe 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.
View 1 Repliesbasically I want a list component but without the skin. So it looks like it's just floating over the stage area... Or is there a better way of doing this?
View 1 Repliesunable to figure out how you can access a List Component Skins using ActionScript. What I'm trying to do is access the CellRenderedSelectedUp skin and:
1. Change it's color using ActionScript
2. Make it change its' color when that list item is clicked
So, let's say that the first item in the List is clicked. I want ActionScript to override the default coloring of the Selected Up skin (say change the color to yellow) and stay that color(yellow) until another list item is clicked on.
I want to make a fighting game with my own character skins and those of my friends as a fun thing.I'd like it to have an intro, menu, character select, level select. I'd like the levels to be able to scroll and for the characters to have health metres. So what I am looking for is either a tutorial to build this up, or be able to look at a completed one and take it apart. I'll be able to handle the art on my own.
View 4 RepliesSome of the "skins" for the FLVPlayback component cannot be used as delivered in the Flash Professional CS5 package.
For instance, if you try simply to run the .swf file: MinimaSilverPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/FLVPlayback skins/ActionScript 3.0, you get the following error message:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found.
Such a skin cannot be used in a published application (though it will work within the Flash IDE in Test mode).
Not all the skins have this problem. However, at least all of the Minima prefixed ones do. Of course the one I wish to use is broken. Is there a way I can fix this? If I try to publish the corresponding .fla (in FLVPlayback skins/FLA/Action Script 3.0 I get "Warning: unable to load SWC FLVPlaybackAS2.swc".
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?
[Code]...
I'd like to create an HSlider so that the skin of the track is different on either side of the thumb. So, for example, the track on the left side of the thumb is green, but red on the other.Is this possible or will it take a custom component?

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesWe are building an application which is using skin classes in mxml. We plan to build different variants of this application for different user segments, where most of the functionality remains same but only skins vary based on the user segment.We are adding skins to the application by the following syntax:
<s:BorderContainer id="Banner" height="15%" width="100%" skinClass="mySkins.backgroundSkin"/>
Is there a way we can have a skin based on some conditioni.e if usersegment = "A" then use myskins.backgroundSkin1, else use myskins.backgroundSkin2?
When you have a flex project, is it better to use different skins for different components or to use just one big css that has all the styles together?
View 1 RepliesI 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:

Expected 2, got 0.'This is what i am trying to do:

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?
