Ok, so please show me a great example with Spark skinning, with really custom components... and of course, with source code... like that: http://fleksray.org/skins/scribble/Scribble.html If you see the source code, you´ll se the simplicity, its ridiculous, just CSS and images. Its not about what

Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply, but i dont think you got the point i try to explain. Ok, there are some ways on Spark to skin the scrollbar, or to put a background image, but thats not the point here. The thing is not if you can or if you cant skin an component. I´ve already seem the link you pa

I disagree. I think Spark skinning was the best thing to happen to Flex. It makes it possible to do some insanely custom skins that I would have shuddered to think about attempting to do with Halo Yes it makes it harder to simply style based skinning initially, but if you use that a lot, its possi

I am not sure what you were trying to do... but with a little bit of research you should have been able to still use Flex 4 for your project. There is a learning curve to get behind the concept so I have felt your pain before but if you stick with it it does get somewhat easier. I have had to resor

Hi Will, I do have a prediction. And it's not a dire one. It's true what you say, but though this is an area that the flex components most need some TLC in, I'm confident that it's the one area that it's most likely to get it. As for predictions, I predict that Adobe will do what it said it wil
