flex3_fx_124x120.jpgSkinning Flex controls can be a pain. You need a designer who really knows what they’re doing and you have to embed your assets in your application (or at least I haven’t seen a way around that).

On a current flex project we want some buttons nicely designed by a flash guy. Those buttons should open a popup menu with more buttons on it. (like any standard toolbar)

Requirements:

  • Easy way for designer to create graphical buttons.
  • A way of using those graphical buttons in a button/popup combination
  • Load assets at runtime so they can be swapped out easily (for different languages for instance)
  • Include keyboard navigation
  • Simple to use
