Comments on: Slides and Code from my Flex 3/4 Component Lifecycle User Group Talks http://iamdeepa.com/blog/?p=44 ruminations on technology Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:30:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Mozzy http://iamdeepa.com/blog/?p=44#comment-1382 Mozzy Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:46:37 +0000 http://iamdeepa.com/blog/?p=44#comment-1382 Hi there, I watched the whole presentation video from the MAX 2008, it helped me a lot to understand the life cycle of components in Flex3, however I have a question regarding skins. I am currently trying to skin a LinkButton component (actually a component that inherist from LinkButton but that is not so important) and I am trying to set the alpha parameter of the underlying textField component of the LinkButton on the four different up and over states. Now if I do that from within the skin (exposing the underlying textField component with my component that inherits from LinkButton) I can set the alpha value for the four different states but that occurs only once. Do you have any presentations or links that would help me understand the mechanism that drives the flex component skinning? That would be of great help. Hi there,

Modules are not allowed to have CSS files, right? And sticking the skinClass in the CSS file for the main application, causes the skin to be compiled into the main swf instead of the module, which defeats the purpose of the modules...
