I've just took a look at the buttons and I can export as FXG no problem, but 
these will create a button for each colour all with multiple colours inside 
them and some not so readable FXG.

When creating skins I generally try and get a designer to stick to one base 
color for each, and then use and combination of white/black/alpha gradients and 
blend modes, filters etc to create the other states. You can then have 1 skin 
for all buttons and we can re-use it setting its base colour using chromeColor.

The skins for the steps would also be very alike, really simplifying the code, 
and also making the code much more dynamic a flexible.

I was wondering whether you might want to take a look at creating the buttons 
state like this Thomasz? At the moment instead of using a base color with 
white/black/alpha gradients and blendModes, all gradients are coloured there is 
a deferent set for each state. Event though this is the case, and the over 
state uses different colours in its gradient, they are so close to the up 
gradients that you don't see any change on rollover.

What I've done if re-created the up and down states as best I could using the 
technique I mentioned above. There is a state missing compared to the FLA 
provided, due to the fact that although the colours are ever so slightly 
different, you can not see it with the eye so I have left it out, which now 
means the just see the base colour background for this state.

Here's a link to what they look like at the moment 
http://tink.ws/apache/makebuilder_ui_skins.html (right click for the source).

The first column matches the states in the FLA (with the missing state on 
over), but I thought this look kind of strange when you clicked, so I've also 
added a second colour that used the down state for over, and just show the base 
colour when down.

Any thoughts, what do you think Thomasz?
