Skinning Flex
Lately i’m working a lot in flex. As you know I’m a user of fireworks and in CS3 we have great tools to skin flex.
But before I skinned flex through an external swf. The way to do that is make a movieclip (don’t forget the linkage in the libary) and link it through the stylesheet.
Example to skin the panel:
CSS
Panel
{
borderSkin: Embed(source="flex_skins.swf", symbol="Panel_borderSkin");
}
An other issue is te use of fonts. You can embed fonts also through an swf. Yust create an fla and create a dynamic textfield and embed the characters you want.
CSS
@font-face
{
src: url('embedded_assets/poetica.swf');
fontFamily: 'Poetica Std';
}
