Introduction to Flex tutorial (part 3)

March 05th 2009 Posted to General
I just uploaded the final tutorial in the introduction to Flex series. This time I show you how to easily improve the appearance of your application by incorporating skins and styles. There are many great skins that the community has created that you can use directly or as a starting point for your own skins. I also explain how to use Flash to skin Flex components.

    Thanks Lee! Been waiting for this. I don’t have the color eye that desgners do, nor the patience in developing all those skins. Keep up the good work, you’re one of the best educators out there.

    Now if you can show me how to allow for an ‘user selected style’ option, I’ll be all set

    Great tutorial! Another way to get the Flex chrome off that I learn just recently, is in the add showFlexChrome=”false”. Especially if your skinning & styling the whole app :)

    Congratulations! Very usefull.
    But one problem: I can’t see the new template “flex skins” at Flash CS4 startup screen.
    In the same way I can’t see at CS4 command menu what I see in CS3 command menu after install FlexComponentKit.
    I install and reinstall…
    Asking to forum no one give me the solution.
    Do you have any idea?

    Hi, Lee.

    Thank you (as always). High quality eLearning the “Lee-way”. Not that you don’t know it yourself, but to clarify other following the video.

    The padding fails, because it should be “paddingLeft” instead of “padding-left”. This is the “highly beloved” Flex version of the css-properties :-)

    All the best
