except, as i pointed out in my post, i'm not looking for the skin class names (as that link talks about). i just want to know what the state of it is. if you want to do it like in the article, you have to build a skin class. it would seem to me that you could get the state somehow without doing that. but the "name" property is just the instance name if you don't add the skin class.
