Skinning custom components

setStyle("color", 0x6666CC);

// Set the background and border to blue when mouse hovers over control.
setStyle("themeColor", 0x6666CC);

super.init();
invalidate();

}

}

The following MXML file instantiates the BlueButton control without overriding the default 
styles set in the component’s class file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns="*" >

<BlueButton label="Blue Button" />

</mx:Application>

In addition to setting the color property, you can set the font face, font size, and other style 
properties. For more information on the available style properties, see

Skinning custom components

When you extend an existing visual control, you can include additional graphics inside the SWC 
file and instruct the new control to use these graphical assets to represent its appearance. The 
process of changing the appearance of a control is called 

skinning

. Skins can be any kind of 

graphic that Flash supports, from a simple line drawing to a multipart SWF file.

To skin a component, you start with a FLA file, just as you would when creating any new 
component. However, you add a new symbol to the FLA file that defines the skin in addition to 
the component’s symbol itself.

The following table describes the general structure of a FLA file that includes new skins for 
the component:

Name

Frame

Description

Main

Layer 1
Frame 1

The top level of the FLA file, which contains a single blank 
frame.

Symbol: custom 
component

Layer 1
Frame 1

First layer, named main, with an ActionScript 

stop()

 

statement.

 Layer 

2

Frame 1

Empty.

 Layer 

2

Frame 2

Second layer, named assets, which contains the skin symbol 
plus any additional graphical assets used by this component.

Symbol: skin graphics

Layer 1
Frame 1-x

The new symbol, which contains as many frames as are 
necessary to represent the new skin. For a simple, static 
graphic, you can draw the new skin on a single frame.
