Here is a very good set of instructions on how to build and use FXG skins [1]. Apparently you can edit FXG using the design view of Flash Builder (not sure which version you tried)
>From the article, here are the restrictions when using scalegrids in FXG. Do you have any of these in your skins? ============================================= Scale grid Scale grids have some limitations that must be considered when designing graphics using FXG. Scale grid values must be inside the boundaries of the graphic and must not overlap (that is, left boundary < scaleGridLeft < scaleGridRight < right boundary). Scale grids will not work if the graphic contains any Group elements. Scale grids will not work if elements have alpha applied. Instead, apply alpha to the stroke and fill elements. ============================================= [1] http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/mobile-skinning-part1.html On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 10:43 AM, OmPrakash Muppirala <bigosma...@gmail.com>wrote: > On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 10:27 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > >> I don't know much about the rules for scaleGrid and skins.
