1.   create skinning components in flex using flash catalyst 5.5.

(flash catalyst  learning aid : http://tv.adobe.com/show/flash-catalyst-1-1-with-doug-winnie)

2.   use them in model application using css.

eg. of css:

/* css file */

@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";

@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";

 

s|button {

      fontsize:24; //may or may not use these

      color: #ff9933;

      skinclass: classreference("buttonskin3");

      cornerradius:10;

     

}

where buttonskin3 skinning file… in same folder css file exists.

3.   after model finalized place css in application (right click on css , check css swf) using flash builder.

4.   use swf file application change , feel via menu @ runtime…

to learn how use link…

5.   in application call dynamically menu or button.

stylemanager.loadstyledeclarations("assets/basicstyles.swf")

basicstyles.swf our css file in swf format.
