The best I could find is a variable (probably private) called tabSkin which was set to "mx.skins.TabSkin". I created a new MXML file called InvertedTabSkin.mxml and basically just made it a wrapper for mx:TabBar with nothing but a script tag inside with the following code: import InvertedTabSkin; function doInit ( ) { this.tabSkin = "InvertedTabSkin"; } The doInit() function is triggered by the initialize event in the root element. When I set this variable something happens to the TabBar created with the InvertedTabBar class... all I get is the text of the tab and none of the skin. The skin file, InvertedTabSkin.as has a few modifications from a version that worked on all TabBars: class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder { static var symbolOwner:Object = InvertedTabSkin; ... instead of class InvertedTabSkin extends RectBorder { static var symbolName:String = "mx.skins.TabSkin"; ... and static function classConstruct():Boolean _global.skinRegistry["InvertedTabSkin"] = true; ... instead of static function classConstruct():Boolean { _global.skinRegistry["mx.skins.TabSkin"] = true; ... Any ideas on where to go from here, or am I on a completely wrong track? Thanks, Seth
