Hi Gaurav …. I haven’t tried using TLF with this component, as it was built in the Flex 2 days. Also, I’m not quite sure what your exact problem is. The CSS styles are completely different in the two examples. Maybe start with the one that works, and just modify the colors?

Been a while since I played with that component. Did you figure it out? I could check your code if you send me a flex project export.

Great work! Quick question on the Down State. I added some code to the case “downSkin”: which displays the appropriate fill colors and alpha, but the Label either goes away or is hidden from view. Any thoughts? Thanks!

man, this is great!!! the border gradients alone justify the augmentation to the standard flex library, but with all of the other features…fantastic! the inclusion of a style explorer as well is really great. thanks!!!

Thanks that was it! It was in the SWC file. I could do an import on flexlib.skins.EhancedButtonBorder in the MXML file. However, I copied the CSS from the style explorer you created. It was missing the fully qualified package name. Once I fully qualified the package in the CSS like this:

upSkin:ClassReference(‘flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);

It worked. I would suggest modifying the style explorer to include the fully qualified path. Just for us noobs. Thanks for the hint.

Unfortunately, I don’t have Flex 2.01 setup ( I use Flex 3), and I have never tried running through the SWC file. Can you import the EnhancedButtonSkin into a normal Actionscript or MXML file ? I would use this to verify that EnhancedButtonSkin is in the SWC and that you have the exact package name and classname correct. Let me know how it goes.

I’m having trouble using EnhancedButtonSkin. I’ve added the SWC file to my project’s library path, but I keep getting the following error in Flexbuilder:

1172: Definition EnhancedButtonSkin could not be found.

I’m using Flexbuilder 2. I followed the instructions from flexlib’s Quickstart.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? (Oh the reference to EnhancedButtonSkin is inside my css files).

Is there anyway to choose which sides the border shows up on? I know normally there is borderSides, but it doesnt seem to work for this. Sorry a little new at this. Thanks!
