Skinning Flash Components
Flash Components are used when and where Flash is applied. Flash has good amount of components for many purposes varying from buttons to datagrids.
To make these components look even nicer according to your needs and theme, you can skin and style these components.
Skinning is basically changing the look of the component. From Flash CS3, its became even easier to change the skins of the components.
Skinning Flex/AIR Components
Skinning is like changin the look of the components. To skin Flex components, we can use either Bitmaps or swfs or programmatically we can skin.
In this post we will be looking into skinning Flex Components graphically i.e. using Bitmap images and using SWFs. Using skins we can define the whole appearance, different states of the components.
For example, we will see skinning a button now. We can give whole new look to different states of button like down, up, over etc.
