Skin styles
Nov. 26th, 2005 | 02:56 am
Skinning components in Flex 2 is really easy. Every component has a bunch of skin styles defined. For example, the DataGrid has a "sortArrowSkin" that specifies the skin to use for the sort indicator when a column is sorted. The value of a skin style can either be a reference to an ActionScript class or it can be an embedded graphic (embedded graphics are internally represented as ActionScript classes).
